Configuring LP+ With The Control Panel
The Printronix ThermaLine Series Label Printers LinePrinter Plus
(line-matrix printer emulation) is a software application on a single PROM set
capable of emulating four different line-matrix printer protocols:
•P-Series P3000/6000/9000, hereafter called P-Series
•Proprinter III XL, hereafter called Proprinter XL
•Serial Matrix
•P-Series XQ P300/600, hereafter called P-Series XQ
The software is designed to be compatible with a variety of paper sizes as
well as different print engine dots-per-inch ratios.
Matching certain printer operational settings to those of the host computer is
known as “printer configuration.” The settings, or configuration parameters, such
as selecting the host interface, are adjusted according to the printer function key
descriptions in this manual. Configure LP+ in the same way you would configure
the printer for other features.
You can select LP+ default parameters directly from the control panel as
explained in this chapter.
The LP+ parameters are described on the following pages. Parameters marked
with an asterisk (*) indicate the default value. The printer must be off-line to enter
the configuration structure.
Pressing an invalid key to enter a parameter value may prove you to another
level in the configuration or exit the configuration menu completely.
IMPORTANT
BEFORE you reconfigure LP+ parameters, print a configuration sheet to
see all of the current settings.
The LP+ sub-menus are shown on the following pages.
