PrintMaster 860 Series Setup Menu Reference
USING SETUP
This reference provides brief instructions for using the printer’s control panel to make
configuration changes. Once you have set up the Interface parameters, you may also use
the Remote Setup program supplied with your printer to make additional changes.
Note: Upon entering the Interface Menu, use the Value buttons to select either the
Serial or Parallel/LAN interface to access the appropriate menu items.
Please refer to the PrintMaster 860 Series Operator’s Manual for complete setup instructions.
The menu tables to the right show the functions available in each menu along with the
factory default value. To make changes, use the following steps:
1. Lift the ribbon lid.
2. Press the MENU button. The ONLINE indicator will begin to flash yellow and the
display will show the following:
Entering
Setup Menus
FORMS MENU
Form 0
3.
Continue to use the MENU button to select any of the menus in the tables shown
to the right.
4.
The SUBMENU button selects additional menus that are related to the selected
menu. For instance, if the FORMS MENU has been selected, the SUBMENU
button will select which form (Form 0 through Form 9) is to be set up. Note that
not all menus have submenus. If no submenu is available, the bottom line will be
blank and the SUBMENU button will not be used.
5. Once the correct menu and submenu (if available) is selected, pressing the
ALIGN/ITEM button will cause the various items and their current values to be
displayed. Note that the items and their values are right justified. To scroll
through the items available, repeatedly press the ALIGN/ITEM button. To change
the value of the displayed item, use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to step
through the possible choices. Remember to leave the correct value displayed
before selecting a different item or menu, since “what you see is what you get”
when Setup Mode is exited.
6. To exit Setup, simply close the ribbon lid. The printer will display:
