Chapter 3 Changing Parameters

Changing Parameters

A configuration consists of several parameters. The factory configuration is PCL-II emulation using the Bi-Tronics interface. You can keep this configuration to print your jobs, or if your print job requires a different setting such as a serial interface, follow the procedure outlined in Table 6.

Example

The example below describes how to change the Unidirectional parameter from disable to enable. Use this example as a basic guideline to move throughout the configuration menu and change other parameters.

Figure 9 on page 47 shows the top level of the configuration menu. The submenus are shown in Chapter 4.

If the configuration has already been changed and you do not know what the current configuration is, print a copy (page 58). Then decide if you must change any parameters.
