USING SETUP MODE

User's Manual

5-62

The preceding sections describe offline setup mode.  This section introduces

online setup mode.  The tedious task of setting up printer features one-by-one

from the control panel and printing and checking the desired options on paper can

be avoided by using online setup mode.  In online setup mode, printer features are

set via the computer rather than the printer control panel.

Put the printer in online setup mode, in either of the following two ways:

•

Turn the printer off and then turn the printer back on while pressing

the MENU button.  Hold down the button until the printer beeps.

•

Issue the printer command ESC e ONLINE.  This command is valid

in any emulation.

Send setup data from the computer in any of the following three ways:

•

Enter setup data directly from the computer keyboard before starting

your job.  With MS-DOS, hold down the Ctrl key and type P.  Data

entered from the keyboard is sent directly to the printer.  When data

entry is complete, hold down the Ctrl key again and type P.  This

method is useful when just a few settings need to be changed.

•

Use an editor program to prepare a setup data file and then send the

file to the printer using a command before starting your job.  With

MS-DOS, use the COPY command.  This method is useful when

settings are used repeatedly.

•

Write a program that enables interactive entry of setup data on the

CRT screen.  This method is the most useful of the three.  Check with

your dealer for currently available programs.

To exit from online setup mode, send EXIT as the last setup data.

For details of setup data and its format, refer to the programmer's manual for

each emulation.
