CHAPTER 5 USING SETUP MODE USING SETUP MODE Your printer has two modes: normal and setup. Normal mode is used for everyday printer operations and is explained in Chapters 3 and 4. 5 Setup mode serves two purposes. It enables you to: • Select the printer’s optional settings • Help diagnose printer problems These setup mode functions can be done either offline, using the printer control panel (offline setup), or remotely, using a setup program in your computer system or software (online setup).
USING SETUP MODE • Head Gap Adjustment Items and Options • Exiting and Saving To restore the printer default settings (factory defaults or power-on defaults), see the section Resetting Defaults later in this chapter. For information on using the SELF-TST, HEX-DUMP, and V-ALMNT functions, see the section Using the Diagnostic Functions later in this chapter. For Experienced Users: Once you are familiar with setup mode, you may want to use the flowchart at the end of this chapter for quick reference.
