Feature Configuration

The Series 150 Printer has many configurable features. The following section discusses these features and the possible configurations. An operator can configure most of the features by manipulating the key panel in configuration mode. This method is termed manual configuration.

Features can be configured by the CFG150 program. This program runs on most standard personal computers. Refer to the CFG90/150 User’s Guide (PN 100-01082) for a description on how CFG operates. This section lists the configurations that can be set by CFG150.

Configuration features are grouped into six categories. Each category has several features, and each feature has one or more selections. The following table lists all the groups, features, and selections. The default factory settings are indicated with an “*”14 which may not be the same as initial power up configuration.
