Printer Configuration
In order to print data, the printer must respond correctly to interface
signals and commands received from the host compu ter.
Configuration is the process of matching the printer’s operating
characteristics to those of the host computer. The characteris tics
that define the printer’s response to signals and commands
received from the host computer are called configu ration
parameters and are found in the configuration menus.
Configuration menu diagrams are shown later in this chapter.
Configuration parameters are retrieved from flash memory, or set
from the control panel. This chapter explains how to set and sav e
parameters with the control panel.
IMPORTANT
Configuration directly affects printer operation. Do not change
the configuration of your printer until you are thoroughly
familiar with the procedures in this chapter.
