The Configuration Menus
Configuration Overview
To print data, the printer must respond correctly to signals and commands
received from the host computer. Configuration is the process of matching the
printer's operating characteristics to those of the host computer and to
specific tasks, such as printing labels or printing on different sizes of paper.
The characteristics which define the printer's response to signals and
commands received from the host computer are called configuration
parameters.
You can configure the printer using the configuration menus and the control
panel or by sending control codes in the data stream from a host computer
attached to the printer. This chapter provides an introduction to configuring
the printer and includes the configuration menus available (depending on
which emulation you have installed in the printer).
IMPORTANT Configuration directly affects printer operation. Do not change the
configuration of your printer until you are thoroughly familiar with the
procedures in this chapter.
