Preparing the Remote Control Unit

The following remote control units (not supplied) allow you to control the printer remotely.

•RM-5500 Remote Control Unit: Used to connect to the REMOTE 1 connector

•RM-91 Remote Control Unit, FS-20/36 Foot Switch: Used to connect to the REMOTE 2 connector.

The operations to be remotely controlled by the above remote control units depend on the remote operation settings made with the FUNCTION SETUP menu. (“Selecting the Operating Mode for Automatic Printing Capabilities” page 65)

Using the RM-5500 remote control unit (not supplied)

The RM-5500 Remote Control Unit can be used either as a wireless type or wired type. The buttons on the remote control unit duplicate those on the front panel of the printer. (see “Front” page 82 and “Sub Panel” page 84)

You can use the remote control unit’s buttons which have the same name as the one on the printer.
