5. Printer Setting Changes
In order to meet individual print requirements, the printer configurations may be changed as follows: Hold
down the Tear Off key while powering on the printer, release the Tear Off key when the print head starts to
move. The printer will enter Main Menu setup state. Follow the instructions printed on how to make setting
changes. When a new setting is saved, it is retained after the printer has been powered off.
The Main Menu is grouped into 5 sub-menus: System Setup, Page Setup, Print Setup, Interface Setup and
Advanced Setup. A detailed description of the sub-menus is given below. The settings in bold and italic refer
to the default settings.
