Star Micronics XB24-15, XB24-10 user manual Setting Up The Memory Switches

chapter 3SETTING UP THE MEMORY SWITCHES

In addition to the pitch, print mode and font, many other options regarding the setup of the printer can be carried out from the front panel. To access these options, it is necessary to turn off the printer, and then turn it on again, while holding down the 0~LINE. , GA 4 and i~F&F~ buttons together. This will cause the printer to print a series of questions and options to which you can answer using the front panel buttons. This is called the Memory Switch mode.

The principle involved is that the printer will print a list of options on one line. You use the :?Z%C and C+ ~~~buttons to move the print head so that it is below the option you want to choose.

The printer will move the paper up and down as appropriate, so that the menu options are visible.

The ‘XEC button moves the print head one option to the left, and the T’- + button moves one option to the right (as marked in blue on the front panel under the buttons). Holding down one of these buttons will still move the print head only one option forward or back.

When the print head is below the desired option, press the ,7~+3 button to enter this into the printer’s memory. Any option chosen at this stage will now

. be stored, even when the printer is turned off.
