Selecting a Menu Option
To select an option, you need to press the
↵
key. By default, however, the
↵
key is “locked” when the printer is turned on to prevent accidental changes
to the configuration menu. If you press the
↵ key when the key is locked, the
message “The
↵
KEY IS LOCKED” displays on the LCD for one second and
the value will not be selected.
To unlock the
↵
key, press the Down +
↵
(Enter) keys simultaneously (if the
combination keys have not been otherwise reconfigured). This toggles the
ENTER/LOCK function.
• If this function is performed while the
↵
key is locked, the message
“The
↵
KEY IS UNLOCKED” displays for one second, and the
↵
key will
be unlocked.
• If this function is performed while the
↵
key is unlocked, the message
“The
↵
KEY IS LOCKED” displays for one second, and the
↵
key will be
locked.
When you press the
↵
key (with the
↵
key unlocked), you select the value or
option that displays. An asterisk displays after the value you selected, and the
configuration is changed immediately.
IMPORTANT This change takes effect for all subsequent data and operations for the
printer as soon as the
↵
key is pressed and the asterisk (*) is displayed.
The configuration change(s) stay in effect only while the printer is
powered on. When the power is turned off, all current configuration
changes will be lost unless the changes made to it are saved via the
CONFIGURATION menu. To save configuration information permanently
or to select it as the power-up default, see “Saving a Configuration” on
page 148.
When you make a menu change and attempt to go Online without saving
the changes to a configuration, you will be prompted to save the
changes (provided that Auto Save is set to Enable in the
CONFIGURATION MENU). For more information on Auto Save
Configuration, see page 149.
