3. Configuring the Printer
3.1What is Configuring
This chapter describes how to use the operator panel and menu settings to set up or configure your printer so that the printer and your computer system can communicate correctly with each other.
Communication between the two requires that both the computer operating sy- stem and the printer have the same communication settings or features. The most important of those are:
Sprotocol,
Sbaud rate,
Sword length,
SI/F type,
Sparity.
You may also need to change some of the printer's other features depending on your hardware and application requirements, for example:
Spaper handling
Stext processing.
The MENU mode allows you to access the configuration memory. All settings of the printer are stored in this memory and can be printed. The possible settings are discribed in detail on the following pages. A short view of all Menu settings you will find in chapter 3.5 Menu Item Description, and a detail descriotion in chapter 4 Explanation of Individual Menu Items.
The standard pameter setting can be printed by using the function PRINT MENU. The following steps show which keys to use to start this printout.
