Using Set-Up Mode
Press the Set-Up/Quit button if you do not intend saving these settings in Macro 2.
Options with Undetermined Values
For some options, you can choose among a continuous range of many values. These
options are identified as follows:
– , which means the unit of the range is the Inch.
– , which means the unit of the range is the Column.
– , which means the unit of the range is the Line.
When you select such an option, only the current value is printed. The numeric range of
such an option is from 1 to 256, from 0 to 255, or from 0 to 99.
To select such a value:
1. Press the button or the button (the printer beeps) as many times as you decrease
from or increase to the current value. If you change the value by a wide margin, you can
keep the button pressed continuously; the printer beeps at intervals of 0.2 second. The
number of beeps corresponds to the number of times you press the button.
2. When you stop pressing, the new value is printed at the right of the current value.
3. If this new value is not satisfying, repeat step 1 until the next new value is satisfying.
Range Management for a Wide Range of Values
The permitted range of these values may be limited considering physical range.
If you intend to change a value which would be out of the permitted physical range, the
actual current value will be the highest possible value considering other Set-Up dependent
values and may not match the value displayed.
See the Options tables further to know the permitted range.
