Configuration Procedure
Most
configuration options are selected from the control panel menu. T
o change the
configura
Ć
tion from the control panel, the printer must be powered up, off line (OFFLINE READ
Y), and
the control panel ENTER switch enabled (unlocked). The current configuration may be exam
Ć
ined
- but not changed - by leaving the ENTER switch locked.
The
basic configuration procedure requires pressing MENU
DOWN and NEXT/PREV to ar
Ć
rive at the desired menu. The parameters associated with that menu are accessed by pressing
MENU
DOWN again, at which time
the currently active parameter or a submenu is displayed.
NEXT and PREV are used to sequentially list all the parameters or submenus available within
that
menu. When the currently active value is shown on the display, it will be
indicated with an
asterisk (*) next to it. Pressing ENTER selects the parameter visible on the display, and reĆ
places
the previous
parameter. The Control P
anel Configuration Diagram, which illustrates all
configuration menus and values, is provided at the end of this chapter. Thoroughly review
these
diagrams to understand the configuration menu hierarchy and the control panel buttons
to
select individual menus and parameter values.
The
following general procedure can be
used to reconfigure the printer from the control panel:
1. Obtain a current configuration printout as described in the Configuration Printout secĆ
tion
of this chapter.
2. Determine
the parameter values that must be changed to meet your requirements.
