Fujitsu DL7400 Manual De Usuario

The preceding sections describe offline setup mode. This section 
introduces online setup mode. The tedious task of setting up printer 

atures 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 TEAR OFF 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. 
This printer is provided with a floppy disk which contains this 
program called DLMENU. For DLMENU, see the last section 
of chapter 2. 

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.
