APPENDIX A”

ADVANCED CONTROL PANEL FEATURES

The printer's control panel has two additional menus for use by the system administrator. These are the “Setup: OPTIONS” and “Setup: SECURITY” menus. The OPTIONS menu is used to inform the printer of any “over all” operating variables and of some optional products which may be installed.

Setup: OPTIONS

The option menu is the third setup menu. To enter it, first take the printer offline. Then press and hold the setup button for approximately 4-1/2 seconds until “Setup: OPTIONS” appears on the display and the bell beeps three times. Note that while you hold the button, “Setup: FORMS” and “Setup: INTERFACE” are displayed as you pass through those menus. At this time you are able to view and/or edit the values for the option functions listed below. Although you may select functions with either the FUNCTION UP or FUNCTION DOWN buttons, they are listed here in the order of function up.
