Tally Genicom 5040 Manual Do Utilizador

Apart from being able to control your printer via the applications soft-
ware you use, you can also program the printer directly. There are two 
programming options you can use:

`

Programming via the control panel.

`

Programming via the interface using Escape sequences or control 
codes.

Settings made by escape sequences have priority over settings made in 
menu mode; therefore they will override these. Informations on Escape 
sequences can be found in Appendix C, 

Programming via the interface gives you far greater freedom for design-
ing your printed pages, however, it is also a more sophisticated method 
and requires some experience with programming languages and printer 
control systems.
All programming via the interface is lost after you turn off the printer, 
whereas the programming carried out using the control panel, is saved 
and stored even after you turn off the printer.
