It consists of a liquid crystal display (LCD), 3 indicators, and 6 soft- touch switches. ╔═════════════════════════════╗ ║ ╔════════════════════╕ ║ ║ ║ - + - -║- - Liquid crystal ║ ║ │ ║ display (LCD) ║ ║ │ ║ ║ ╙────────────────────┘ ║ ╠═════════════════════════════╣ ║ POWER ALARM ║ ║ o o o - -║- - ON LINE Indicator ║ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ║ ║ │ MENU │ │ ONLINE │ ║ ║ └────────┘ └────────┘ ║ ║ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ║ ║ │ SAVE │ │ PARK │ /\ ║ ║ │ │ │ LOAD │ ║ ║ └────────┘ └────────┘ ║ ║ ┌────────┐ ┌────────┐ ║ ║ │ SELECT │ │ LF/FF │ \/ ║ ║ └────────┘ └────────┘ ║ ║ QUICK JUMP ║ ╚═════════════════════════════╝ The controls required to begin operating your printer are: LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) -- shows information such as printer status and menu items. When you tell the DMP-240 to print data, the data is stored in the printer's buffer. The LCD immediately displays the percentage of the buffer that contains data not yet printed. The data display counts down in 10-percent increments as printing progresses; when printing is completed, the display shows "DATA 0%". POWER INDICATOR -- this green light is on when the printer is turned on. ON LINE INDICATOR -- this green light is on when the printer is on line; it goes off when the printer is off line or an alarm is detected. ALARM INDICATOR -- amber light turns on or flashes during an alarm condition. ON LINE BUTTON -- press to toggle between off line and on line. The ON LINE indicator shows the current mode. See "Selecting the On-Line, Off-Line, and Setup Modes" in the "Ready to Print" section for more on the printer operation modes. LF/FF BUTTON -- press once in the off-line mode to advance the paper one line. Press and hold this switch to activate the form-feed function. Turn the platen knob to advance continuous-form paper so the first perforation is positioned immediately under the tear edge of the top cover. When you press the LF/FF button or print data is received, the paper automatically retracts to the first print position. THE SETUP MODE AND SETUP MENU This printer has no DIP switches; instead, it has an electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). Whether the printer is turned on or off, it remembers various printer settings. To check or change the settings currently in memory, the printer must be in the setup mode. Setup mode allows you to select options that change the printing style, page format, and other settings. To enter the setup mode, press MENU while in the off-line mode. The printer displays the setup menu on the LCD, each item appearing in the order shown in Table 2. The setup menu has three levels: GROUP: General categorization of functions/features ITEM: Direct names of functions/features SET: Options for the items. ╒══════════════╤═════════════════╤════════════════════════════════════════╕ │ GROUP │ ITEM │ SET │ ╞══════════════╪═════════════════╪════════════════════════════════════════╡ │ PRNT OUT │ DEMO │ │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ HELP │ │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ CONFIG │ CURRENT (*), DEFAULT │ ├──────────────┼─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ MAC CTRL │ LOAD MAC │ MACRO 1 (*), MACRO 2, MACRO 3, MACRO 4 │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ DEFN MAC │ MACRO 1 (*), MACRO 2, MACRO 3, MACRO 4 │ ├──────────────┼─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ EMLATION │ EMLATION │ IBM (*), EPSON │ ├──────────────┼─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ PRN STYL │ FONT │ DRAFT, LQ ROMAN (*), LQ SANS, LQ COUR, │ │ │ │ LQ PREST │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ PITCH (I) │ 10 CPI (*), HS 12 CPI, HD 12 CPI, │ │ │ │ 17 CPI, PROPORT │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ PITCH (E) │ 10 CPI (*), HS 12 CPI, HD 12 CPI, │ │ │ │ 15 CPI, 17 CPI, 20 CPI, PROPORT │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ CONDENSE │ OFF (*), ON │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ ZERO (I) │ NO SLASH (*), SLASH │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ ITALICS (E) │ OFF (*), ON │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ COLOR │ BLACK (*), RED, BLUE, VIOLET, YELLOW, │ │ │ │ ORANGE, GREEN │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ AGM MODE (I) │ OFF (*), ON │ ├──────────────┼─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ PRN MODE │ CPY MODE │ OFF (*), ON │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ TEXT DIR │ BI DIR (*), UNI DIR │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ GRPH DIR │ BI DIR, UNI DIR (*) │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ SW LOCK │ OFF (*), FONTS, ALL STYL │ ├──────────────┼─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ PG LYOUT │ LIN SP. │ 6 LPI (*), 8 LPI, HOST DEF │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ FRM LNTH │ 6 INCH, 8 INCH, 11 INCH (*), 11.6 INCH │ │ │ │ 12 INCH, 14 INCH, 15 INCH, HOST DEF │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ PG SKIP (E) │ OFF (*), ON │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ RT MARGN │ 3 to 80 CLMN (Default value = 80) │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ LT MARGN │ 0 to 75 CLMN (Default value = 0) │ ├──────────────┼─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ INSTALL │ RIBBON │ NORMAL (*), COLOR │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ AUTO CR (I) │ OFF (*), ON │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ AUTO LF │ OFF (*), ON │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ SLCT IN (E) │ IGNORE (*), ACTIVE │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ UNIQ ESC │ ON (*), OFF │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ REF LF │ OFF (*), ON │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ PG CNTR │ 1-60 (Default value = 40) │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ PAPR OUT │ ENABLE (*), DISABLE │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ TEAR OFF │ ON (*), OFF │ ├──────────────┼─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ CHR TABL │ COUNTRY (E) │ USA (*), FRANCE, GERMANY, UK, DENMRK 1 │ │ │ │ SWEDEN, ITALY, SPAIN 1, JAPAN, NORWAY, │ │ │ │ DENMRK 2, SPAIN 2, LTN.AMER, LEGAL │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ CHR SET (E) │ ITALICS (*), GRAPHICS │ │ │ │ │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ CODE PG (I) │ USA (*), MULTI, PORTUGAL, CANADA, │ │ │ │ NORWAY, SCANDNVA │ │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ CHR SET (I) │ SET 1 (*), SET 2 │ ├──────────────┼─────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ SPECIAL │ OPTN RAM │ BUFFER (*), DOWNLOAD │ ╘══════════════╧═════════════════╧════════════════════════════════════════╛ NOTES: The settings with (*) are the default settings. Items with (E) appear only when EPSON is selected in EMLATION; items with (I) appear only when IBM is selected in EMLATION. The SPECIAL menu appears only when you have installed the optional RAM and you are defining macros. Press SELECT when the SPECIAL/SET? message appears after the CHR TABL menu group. SWITCH FUNCTIONS IN THE MENU MODE In the setup mode, you use the switches on the control panel to go through the menus, to select desired options, and to memorize the selected options in the printer memory. Following are the functions of the switches in the setup mode. MENU: advances to the next item. PARK LOAD + MENU: goes back to the previous item. JUMP: jumps to the next group, first item. PARK LOAD + JUMP: jumps to the previous group, first item. SELECT: advances to the next option in the set. PARK LOAD + SELECT: goes back to the previous option in the set. SAVE: stores the selected option in the printer memory. ON LINE: exits the menu mode and returns to the off-line mode. NOTES: The + mark signifies that you need to press both buttons. While holding down PARK LOAD, press MENU, JUMP, or SELECT to go back to the previous item/group/set. You can reset all the menu settings to the default values; press ON LINE and PARK LOAD while holding down SELECT for over 5 seconds in the off-line mode. SETTING UP THE MENU Press MENU in the off-line mode to enter the setup mode. The first menu in the setup menu sequence appears. PRNT OUT DEMO In the setup mode, the display shows the menu group on the first row, and the item on the next row. When you press SELECT, the display changes to show the next item on the first row, and the set on the next row. Example: PRN STYL --> PITCH PITCH 10 CPI SELECTING A MENU Press MENU to advance to the next item. While holding down PARK LOAD, press MENU to go back to the previous item. Press JUMP to jump to the next group, first item. While holding down PARK LOAD, press JUMP to jump to the previous group, first item. When you have reached the desired item, press SELECT to enter the option select mode. Press SELECT repeatedly (or PARK LOAD + SELECT for reverse search) to display the desired option in the set. Press SAVE to store the selected option into memory. NOTES: For the first two items, there are no sets; therefore you do not need to press SELECT. Simply press SAVE to print out the information you require. When you reach the last item of a group, pressing MENU advances to the first item of the next group. When you are at the first item of a group, pressing PARK LOAD + MENU goes back to the last item of the previous group. When you reach the last option of an item, pressing SELECT advances to the first option of an item, pressing PARK LOAD + SELECT goes back to the last option of the previous item. RETURNING TO THE OFF-LINE MODE Press ON LINE any time in the setup mode to exit the setup mode. *********************** CONTINUED IN MENUS.2 ********************************** (smm/tmc-04/14/95)
