Chapter 4 Configuration Overview

Brief descriptions follow for the first-level configuration menu options:
• CONFIG. CONTROL — These options allow you to save, print,
load, delete, name, and protect entire sets of configuration
parameters, as well as select the default power-up configuration.
• ACTIVE EMULATION — This menu allows you to select the active
emulation: PCL-II or LinePrinter+. The optional IGP/PGL or
IGP/VGL emulations can be selected if they are installed.
• EMULATION — This menu allows you to configure the options
which are available for the current operating (active) emulation. For
example, if LinePrinter+ is the active emulation, then the
LinePrinter+ emulation options can be configured using this menu.
• MAINT / MISC — These options provide miscellaneous functions,
such as printing a hex dump, selecting a display language, and
choosing whether the printer will power up in offline or online mode.
• HOST INTERFACE — These options allow you to select either the
Serial RS-232, Serial RS-422, Dataproducts
®
Long Line,
Ethernet
™
, or IEEE1284 parallel interface for the printer (which
must match the interface cabling you installed while setting up your
printer, described in Chapter 2). This menu also allows you to
configure several parameters for each interface.
• ETHERNET PARAMS — This option allows you to view and
change the IP Address, Gateway Address, and Subnet Mask. The
MAC Address may also be viewed.
• PRINTER CONTROL — These options allow you to select several
operating parameters for the printer, such as the speed at which
paper will advance when slewing.
• DIAGNOSTICS — These options include the diagnostic tests,
system memory, and statistics of the printer.
• RIBBONMINDER — The options in this submenu allow you to
enable the RibbonMinder
™
feature and set its parameters.
