Initial Power ON
The initial power cycle of a Series 150 diagnostic will find that the EEPROM is not valid. Remaining
in Level 0 diagnostics for about ten seconds will indicate this. During this time, the EEPROM is
initialized and a default configuration loaded. The default will allow manual or remote configuration.
It is unlikely to be the desired configuration.

Once in configuration mode, the item to be changed should be selected with the RELEASE and
RESUME keys. The item is changed when the RESUME and RELEASE keys are pressed together. It
should be noted that in test mode keys operate when released and not when they are pressed. This
allows for multiple key depressions to be recognized.

Enable Remote Configuration
Remote configuration mode allows a remote host to set up, display configuration information, and test
a Series 150 Printer. This mode is designed to be operated by the CFG150 program running on a
personal computer.

To enable remote configuration, connect a personal computer through the serial or parallel port on
the Series 150 Printer. Load the configuration program into the personal computer, and enter
configuration mode. Power on the printer, and hold the FEED and RELEASE keys down. After Level
0 diagnostics, the printer will enter CFG150 Mode. Refer to the CFG90/150 User’s Guide (PN 100-
