Print menu settings

Activate menu
mode

The printer menu is used to adjust your printer to suit the applica-
tion. Thus, you can use the printer menu to choose the emulation.
You can adjust the page length for continuous paper or cut sheets,
change the font and make other settings. The changes made in the
menu are stored in the printer and retained even after the printer is
switched off. These settings can be changed by software commands
from your application or by means of the operator panel. After
switching the printer on or off, the values set in the menu come into
force again. Changes to the printer menu are also retained if the
mains power supply is disconnected from the printer.

The printer menu is structured as follows: at the top level, the func-
tions are divided into so-called menu groups (GROUP). Within
each group are to be found several menu items (ITEM). To each
menu item in turn can be assigned a menu value (SET).

In order to change the value of a menu item, you must first call
menu mode. To do this, hold down the SHIFT button and press the
MENU  button while the printer is in ON LINE mode. The menu
mode can also be activated by holding down the MENU button
when switching on the printer. This second option is still open to
you when the operator panel is blocked by means of the Operator
Panel Function

. The menu mode is activated when the indicator

lamp  MENU  is lit. The functions beneath the buttons are then
activated.

Should you wish to print out the current menu settings, insert a
sheet of paper in the printer and press the PRINT button. The menu
will be printed out in data processing quality. If, in menu mode, the
printing reaches the end of the paper, insert a new sheet and switch
the printer ON LINE again. The print-out is immediately recom-
menced.
