Changing Character Information

Sometimes, rather than selecting an option, you need to enter char-
acter information, like a number or a word.

Entering character information through the control panel is similar to 
setting the time and date on a digital watch. Use the following keys to 
change the current input character:

When you exit the character selection process, the printer verifies 
character information and confirms it in the message window. If char-
acter information is valid, you’re returned to the previous menu; if it’s 
invalid, you’re returned to the input field. Press the Menu key to can-
cel any changes to the character information.

If the current character information is longer than the value that you 
need to enter, replace each extra character with a space. The printer 
interprets a space at the end of character information as a blank.

For example, to change the HP-GL emulation scaling percent, press 
the control panel keys in the order shown in the following table. 
(Underlining indicates the current input character in the message win-
dow.)

Advance to the next choice for the current input character.

Return to the previous choice for the current input 
character.

Advance the cursor to the next character (or if the cursor’s 
on the 

character farthest to the righ

t, this key exits the 

character selection process).

Return the cursor to the previous character.

Turn off the Online/Offline indicator and 
readies the printer for configuration.
