Using Set-Up Mode 4-3 Set-Up Mode Function The Set-Up mode allows you: – To define a user environment, Macro, which is a printer operating environment for your application software. The printer operating environment includes the emulation, font, horizontal and vertical pitches, page length and margins, line mode, and printing direction. It also includes emulation dependent options like the character set. – To define general installation parameters related to the integration in your environment (e.g., menu language, tear-off control, auto-load control, and interface). – To recall all the factory settings (including the user environment and installation parameters,). – To define what kind of settings modifications are allowed to avoid accidentally changing of Set-Up values. How Set-Up Works The Set-Up mode consists of Set-Up functions which correspond to the printer settings described in the previous page. Each function generally has many options which correspond to the print features to be changed. Each option includes many parameters values to be selected. All the Set-Up functions, options, and values are printed in a logical sequence on the paper when you enter the Set-Up mode, including the usage of buttons. You can perform all the Set-Up operations by using buttons on the control panel in the following order: – Navigating through the option menu structure. – Selecting a new value for an option. – Saving your new printer configuration (permanently or temporarily). Note: You may want to use the flowchart at the end of this chapter for quick reference. The flowchart lists all printer Set-Up functions, options, and values.
