The PrintMaster 850 Series printers feature simple, easy to use menus for
setting the various operating parameters for the printer. The parameters
available in these menus usually only need to be set one time, either when
the printer is first installed or perhaps when a new form is to be used.
These values are stored in nonvolatile memory, which means that they will
remain set even if the printer is turned off. Please note that, in an effort to
minimize the total number of buttons and provide an uncluttered control
panel, most buttons on the PrintMaster 850 Series printers are “context-

printer or the menu level you happen to be in. For example, the
Unload/Change button is used to unload forms or change the loaded form in
the printer, depending on whether a form is loaded already. When in the
Menu system with the Front Lid open, this same physical button serves as a
“Down Arrow” button, allowing you to modify the settings of various printer
parameters. The following sections give detailed descriptions of the buttons
and the different functions they perform depending on the context.
