PROGRAMMING ON YOUR OWN -.
i -
I.
Now that you have successfully programmed some basic information into
your Star LaserPrinter 8111, you may want to continue on your own. The
choices you can make are arranged in a hierarchy. They represent the
options common to all the emulations available with the printer, and include
a selection of the specific emulation:
HP LaserJet III
Epson EX-800
IBM Proprinter
f i To customize your printing beyond that will require programming from the
computer. For that, refer to the Applications Manual.
There are several settings that cannot be changed, regardless of emulation.
They are:
Form size -which will always default to the maximum value for the
paper size, depending on orientation.
Top of form - always defaults to the top of the sheet. However, you
can select the top margin of the printed page.
Perforation skip - always defaults to 0 lines.
Special word processing features - of other printers is ignored.
Text/graphics mode - defaults to text mode.
Slashed zero - the style of the zero depends on the selected font.
On-line - The printer is always on line after being turned on or
powered up.
The highest rank in the hierarchy available for programming through the
printer’s front panel is as follows:
PROGRAM MODE
* CHARACTER
* LAYOUT
* PAPERFEED
* COMMAND
* INTERFACE
