Using Set-Up Mode

Points to Remember

We recommend that you use continuous forms paper for printing in the Set-Up mode
because the output will exceed a single page. To load paper, use the

FF/Load

button. To

adjust the line position of the paper in the Set-Up mode, use the platen knob.

Whenever you enter the Set-Up mode, short help menus are printed at the top of the
page. Help menus are also printed when you select the

TESTS

function. Use the help

menus for quick reference while in the Set-Up mode.

When printing the options and values for each function, you can move either forward or

backward in the option list. To move forward (print the next option), press the

button.

To move backward (print the previous option), press the

button. You can skip printing

the value list for the undesired options by pressing and holding down these buttons.

While in the

<FUNCTIONS>

menu or when selecting a function that contains options

and selectable values, press the

Exit/Save

button to reprint the

<FUNCTIONS>

menu. In

this case, the red cursor is positioned beneath

SAVE&EXIT

.

A bolded (overprinted) value indicates that it is the current setting. An underlined value
indicates a selected setting.

While in the Set-Up mode, you can use the

PRINT

function to print out a list of the

currently selected values. (See the next section for details.)

To exit the Set-Up mode and permanently save your changes, select the

SAVE&EXIT

function. For details, see the section, “Exiting and Saving,” later in this chapter

To exit the Set-Up mode and temporarily use your changes, press the

Set-Up/Quit

button.

Your previous power-on settings will be active when you turn the printer on again.

Printing the Printer Configuration

The

PRINT

function prints a list of all the printer’s currently selected values. This function

is useful for checking the printer settings when you first enter the Set-Up mode or just
before you exit. To print a list of values, first load continuous forms paper, and then enter
the Set-Up mode to select the

PRINT

function. The printer starts to print a list of the

currently selected values. The pre-selected factory settings are shown on the opposite page.

When the printer finishes printing the list of values, it reprints the

<FUNCTIONS>

menu.

Caution:

To remove the printout, turn the platen knob until the paper can be torn off at the

perforation. In the Set-Up mode, you cannot use the printer tear-off feature
(

Pause

button).

Select another function or exit the Set-Up mode, saving any changes you made. For details
about other functions, see the other sections in this chapter. To exit the Set-Up mode and
save your changes, make sure that the red cursor is positioned beneath

SAVE&EXIT

, then

press the

button or the

button.
