4.2 Reading the Display in Menu Mode

Printer status and operator call messages are shown on the display in

uppercase lettering, preceded by a numerical code. Examples of such

messages are 00 READY or 11 PAPER OUT. Menu Mode messages

are displayed differently to distinguish differences between the menu

selections, feature selections, and value selections.

NOTE:

The menu names on the message display are written to accommodate

the protocols available on the DEClaser 2200 plus printer (ANSI, PostScript,

or CaPSL). Depending on the protocol being used, the menu names that

appear on the message display may not read exactly as they do on Test

Print A. For example, if you are using Digital’s ANSI-Compliant Printing

Protocol, the first menu listed on Test Print A is the FEEDER menu, but on

the message display it is printed as the FONT/FEED menu.

4.2.1 Displaying Menu and Feature Selections

Menu and feature selections are scrolled to the left or right, and are shown

on the display in groups of 16 characters. This means that in addition to

the menu or feature you have selected, other characters are displayed from

the next menu or feature. Think of the menu and feature selections as

being placed on a scrolling band separated only by a space. The display

shows a group of 16 characters from the band and denotes the selection by

displaying it first with a cursor below the first letter. See the examples in

Figure 4–2.
