DMP 300 (260-2818) Menu Settings Faxback Doc. # 4630 MENU SELECTION This printer has no DIP switches; it has non-volatile memory. Whether the printer is turned on or off, it remembers various printer settings, such as word processing or data processing mode. To check or change the settings currently in memory, the printer must be in the menu setting mode. Menu setting mode allows you to select options that change the printing style, page format, and other settings. The menu setting has three levels: GROUP: General categorization of functions/features ITEM: Direct names of functions/features SET: Options for the items. GROUP ITEM SET FACTORY SETTING Symbol Sets 5BH Tandy Mode Only)* ASCII Tandy ASCII * Effective only when Tandy emulation is selected. ** Effective only when IBM emulation is selected. SETTING MENU IMPORTANT: Load the printer with 8 1/2" by 11" paper since the set menu printers on the paper. 1. Turn the printer on while pressing the ON/OFF LINE button. If the printer is already on, set the printer to on-line mode; then, while pressing the ON/OFF LINE button, press the LINE/FORM button. this sets the printer to menu setting mode. The LQ and 12 CPI indicators light to show that the printer is now in the menu setting mode. 2. Press the GROUP (LINE/FORM) button: the current setting of the first item (Type Face) of first group (Fonts) prints. 3. Referring to the switch functions above, check/change the setting(s) as necessary. See example below. We recommend that you print out all the settings and keep it handy so you can refer to them anytime. Press GROUP, the press ITEM as many times as necessary to printer all the items under the group. Then, press GROUP to advance and printer the next group setting. Or turn the printer off and then turn it back on again while pressing the ON/OFF LINE button: the latest settings of the menu are printed. NOTE: If conflicting functions are set, the printer treats these function codes according to the priority table. 4. Press the ENTER/EXIT (ON/OFF LINE) button to exit the menu mode. This stores the new setting into non-volatile memory. Once set, this information is kept in memory even if you unplug the printer. Press the ON/OFF LINE and LQ/DP PITCH switches simultaneously while turning on the printer to reset the menu back to its factory settings. EXAMPLE: To set the printer to unidirectional printing PRESS PRINTOUT [ENTER/EXIT] + [GROUP] (Entering menu setting mode.) [GROUP] Font Type Face LQ Courier [GROUP] General Control Emulation Mode IBM [ITEM] General Control IBM Processing PPR [ITEM] General Control Unidirectional No [SET] General Control Unidirectional Yes [ENTER/EXIT] (Exiting menu setting mode.) DESCRIPTION TYPE FACE: Selects the type of font. The selection is different in Tandy mode and IBM mode. For the font named DLL, refer to the "Downloading" section. PITCH: Selects the character pitch. ATTRIBUTE: Selects the character attribute. EMULATION MODE: Selects the printer mode. TANDY PROCESSING: Selects the processing mode in Tandy mode. IBM PROCESSING: Selects IBM processing mode. UNIDIRECTIONAL: Selects the printing direction mode. OFFSET: Compensates the print dot position for reversed printing by n/480 inches. Negative number shifts to left, positive number of shifts to right. LEFT END: Left end position offset by n columns. AUTO CR: Sets/Releases the automatic carriage return and line feed when the right margin is exceeded. LINE SPACING: Selects the lines per inch. FORM TEAR-OFF: Sets/Releases the paper to the paper cutter position after printing. SKIP PERFORATION: Sets/Releases the perforation skip of 1 inch. CR CODE: Sets whether a line feed is performed or not when a CR command is received. LF CODE: Sets whether a carriage return is performed or not when the LF command is received. PAGE LENGTH: Selects the page length. TOP MARGIN: Sets the top margin at nth line from the top of form. CHARACTER SET: Selects the character set. LANGUAGE SET (Tandy Mode Only): Selects the international character set. ZERO CHARACTER (IBM Mode Only): Sets whether a slash (/) is printed or not for the number 0. 5BH-5EH (Tandy Mode Only): Selects ASCII character print or Tandy character print for the 5BH,5CH,5DH, and 5EH codes. ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │Menu Selection │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │The DMP-300 has no dip switches, instead it relies on non-volatile │ │memory settings, entered in from the front panel.
