Using Set-Up Mode
Options with Undetermined Values
For some options, you can choose among a continuous range of many values. These
options are identified as follows:
–
<XXX-No of INCH>
, which means the unit of the range is the Inch.
–
<XXX-No of COLM>
, which means the unit of the range is the Column.
–
<XXX-No of LINE>
, which means the unit of the range is the Line.
When you select such an option, only the current value is printed. The numeric range of
these respective options are from 1 to 256, from 0 to 255, or from 0 to 99.
To select such a value:
1. Press the
button or the
button (the printer beeps) as many times as you decrease
from or increase to the current value. If you change the value by a wide margin, you can
keep the button pressed continuously; the printer beeps at intervals of 0.2 seconds. The
number of beeps corresponds to the number of times you press the button.
2. When you stop pressing the button, the new value is printed to the right of the current
value.
3. If this new value is not satisfactory, repeat step 1 until the next new value is satisfactory.
Range Management for a Wide Range of Values
The permitted range of these values may be limited as to physical range.
If you intend to change to a value which is outside of the permitted physical range, the
actual current value will be the highest possible value considering other Set-Up dependent
values and may not match the value displayed.
See the Options tables to ascertain the permitted range.
