Configuration structure. Digital LA400

Configuring Your Printer

The Configuration Structure

The Set-Up Configuration contains seven Functions, which group specific Options. The Options, if necessary, are broken down into other Sub-options. The selectable parameters defining the

Options or Sub-options are called Values. The following is an example of part of the

Configuration structure.

In the above table, the Protocol Option has two Sub-options: Protocol-Serial and

Protocol-Parallel. You have to choose one of these Sub-options to access the selectable values.

The Font and the Vertical Pitch have not Sub-options: you access to the selectable Values directly.

Display Graphic Conventions

To allow you to recognize the kind of item that appears on the printer display, the following graphic conventions apply:

Display Sample

MACRO

* English

Convention

Uppercase

Lower case with initial cap

* symbol for the current/selected

Value

Meaning

This convention applies to

Functions, Options and

Sub-options (all non-selectable items).

This convention applies to the selectable Values and to the executable Values

Note: There are two types of values:

- the selectable Values which are parameters that alter the printer Configuration.

- the executable Values which generate immediate operations

The Different Types of Selectable Values

Three types of selectable Values have been defined, according to how they are saved.

Value Type

Factory

Power-on

Current

Meaning

These are the Values that are set at the factory. You can recall them for the entire Configuration using the SAVE Option.

These are the values that are active when powering-on the printer. They are active when you permanently save your changes by pressing the Sel/Save button.

These are the values that are active at a given time and that are lost when you power-off the printer. They are active when you temporarily save your changes by pressing the Exit button, or by modifying corresponding Values at the operator panel.
