Registering a User Set

You can store up to three settings of all the printer specifications set or adjusted by using the buttons or the menu, and store those settings as a user set. The printer retains these setting - even if you turn off the power. Thus, different operators can make printouts with different settings by recalling the appropriate user set. If the data of the recalled user set is modified, the printer operates according to the modified data. In such a case, the modified data remains effective until another user set is recalled on the PRINTER SETUP menu, even if you turn off the power.

After you finish all of the required settings, proceed as follows to register them as a user set.

Note

If the user set is changed, all images stored in memory will be cleared.

1 Display the SYSTEM SETUP menu from the PRINTER SETUP menu.

If you want to name a user set, go to step 2.

If you do not want to name a user set, go to step 4.

2 Select the USER NAME item, then press the g button.

The USER NAME menu appears.
