USING SETUP MODE
Your printer has two modes: normal and setup.
Normal mode is used for everyday printer opera-
tions and is explained in Chapters 3 and 4.
Setup mode serves two purposes. It enables you to:
• Select the printer’s optional settings
• Help diagnose printer problems
These setup mode functions can be done either offline, using the printer
control panel (offline setup), or remotely, using a setup program in your
computer system or software (online setup). Primarily, this chapter explains
how to use the offline setup mode. The online setup mode, which is reviewed
briefly at the end of this chapter, is valid in all emulations. For details, refer to
the programmer's manuals.
Optional settings on the printer include the emulation, fonts, pitch, page length
and page width, serial interface options, and the top-of-form setting. When
you save your settings in the printer’s permanent memory, they become the
new settings or defaults. These defaults are invoked whenever you turn on the
printer. For example, if you save DPL24C PLUS as the default emulation,
DPL24C PLUS is invoked when you turn on the printer.
The printer diagnostic functions are SELF-TST, HEX-DUMP, and
V-ALMNT. These functions are helpful for printer trouble-shooting, as
described in Chapter 7.
The sections in this chapter are presented in logical sequence. If you are a
