Using Set-Up Mode
Deciding Which Options to Change
The previous page shows a printout of the printer’s factory settings. In this printout,
options are listed by functional group:
•
MACRO 1
and
MACRO 2
functions
•
INSTALL
function
•
ADJUST
function
•
MENU-ACCES
function
Most selectable values only alter print features, such as the type style and page format.
However, some values must be selected correctly for the printer to work properly with
your hardware and software. For each function, the following table lists options whose
values must be selected correctly for your system and printer.
Required Options
Function Option Value
PROTOCOL
The protocol selected on the printer must be the same
as the protocol selected in your software. If you
selected a protocol when you set up the printer, you
do not need to change the
PROTOCOL
option unless
you want to change to a different protocol.
For
MACRO 1
, the factory setting is
PORT DEPND
(Port
Dependent). This means that the active protocol
depends on what port is actually used by the printer.
The protocol for the serial port (
PRTCL SERL
) is
factory set to
DEC PPL2
and the protocol for the
parallel port (
PRTCL PARL
) is factory set to
EPSON-
ESCP
.
For
MACRO 2
, the factory setting is also
PORT DEPND
.
The protocol for the serial port (
PRTCL SERL
) is also
set to
DEC PPL2
, but the protocol for the parallel port
(
PRTCL PARL
) is factory set to
IBM PPX24
.
See the section “Changing Macro 1 and Macro 2
Options” later in this chapter.
ADJUST
You can separately adjust the origin of the Top-of-
Form for both continuous forms and single sheets.
See the section “Adjusting Top-of-Form Origin” later
in this chapter.
