The Printer menu is used when the indicator is interfaced with one of the printers
listed in the Brand submenu. This is necessary to ensure all the appropriate control
codes are added to the selected print format.
If either PRTR1 or PRTR2 selections are enabled then the port that is Binded may
occasionally send out a set of random characters to test for a connected printer. Be
sure to disable these settings if the indicator is not connected to one of the printer
brands listed.
