Using Set-Up Mode

Points to Remember

We recommend that you use continuous forms paper for printing in the Set-Up mode

because it will not end within a single page. To load paper, use the

FF/Load

button. To

adjust the line position of the paper in the Set-Up mode, use the platen knob.

Whenever you enter the Set-Up mode, short help menus are printed at the top of the

page. Help menus are also printed when you select the

TESTS

function. Use help menus

for quick reference while in the Set-Up mode.

When printing the options and values for each function, you can move either forward or

backward in the option list. To move forward (print the next option), press
the

button. To move backward (print the previous option), press the

button. You

can skip printing the value list for the undesired options by pressing and holding down

these buttons.

While in the

menu or when selecting a function that contains options and

selectable values, press the

Exit/Save

button to reprint the

menu. In this

case, the red cursor is positioned beneath

SAVE&EXIT

A bolded (overprinted) value indicates that it is the current setting. An underlined value

indicates a selected setting.

While in the Set-Up mode, you can use the

function to print out a list of the

currently selected values (see the next section for details).

To exit the Set-Up mode and permanently save your changes, select the

SAVE&EXIT

function. For details, see the section Exiting and Saving later in this chapter

To exit the Set-Up mode and temporarily use your changes, press the

Set-Up/Quit

button.

Your previous power-on settings are active when you turn the printer on again.

Printing the Printer Configuration

The

function prints a list of all the printers currently selected values. This function

is useful for checking the printer settings when you first enter the Set-Up mode or just

before you exit. To print a list of values, load continuous forms paper, enter the Set-Up

mode, and then select the

function. The printer starts to print a list of the currently

selected values. The preselected factory settings are shown on the opposite page.
When the printer finishes printing the list of values, it reprints the

menu.

Caution: To remove the printout, turn the platen knob until the paper can be torn off at

the perforation. In the Set-Up mode, you cannot use the printer tear-off feature

(

Pause

button).

Select another function or exit the Set-Up mode, saving any changes you made. For details

about other functions, see the other sections in this chapter. To exit the Set-Up mode and

save your changes, make sure that the red cursor is positioned beneath

SAVE&EXIT

, then

press the

button or the

button.
