− GENERAL MENU
− BASIC SETTINGS
− CONFIG. MENU

All parameters which characterise a print job and its corresponding form (e.g.
SOURCE, PAPER LENGTH, ORIENTATION, and FUSER TEMP.) are contained in
one profile. In total 50 PROFILES are available and can be either programmed via
the operator panel or by means of the utility called Profiler F44. The profiler provides
an utmost comfortable way of creating profiles. More about the Profiler F44 you will
find on the next page.
There are two items in the OFFLINE M
ENU which deal with profiles, SELECT
PROFILE to activate a profile and CHANGE PROFILE to define its contents. All
parameter settings via the operator panel, via the Profiler F44 or via PJL commands
are affecting the actually selected profile. The number of the actually selected profile
is shown in the first line of the operator panel. After switching on the printer the last
selected profile will be active.
The function RECALL FACTORY in the CONFIG. MENU is setting all parameters of
all profiles to the factory default values.
Different applications use also different settings. All these settings for an application
are collected in a PROFILE.
For example: Application A needs fanfold paper with a paper length of 6 inch and a
top margin of one, application B processes fanfold paper with a paper length of 12
inch and a top margin of six.
Simply by pressing SELECT PROFILE the Profile containing the information for the
specific application requirements can be activated.
