Programming using the
control panel As well as being able to control your printer via your 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,
Emulations
, page 109.
Programming via the interface gives you far greater freedom for desi-
gning your printed pages, however, it is also a more sophisticated me-
thod 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 using the control panel, is saved and stored
even after you turn off the printer.
