USING SETUP MODE
User's Manual 5-62
The preceding sections describe offline setup mode. This section introduces
online setup mode. The tedious task of setting up printer features 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 MENU 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. Check with
your dealer for currently available programs.
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.
