Setting Up the Printer
Printer Status
The information in this section varies by printer model.
For a model that supports legal-size paper, the Printer Status
section shows:
◆ Paper Size—the default paper size and character set.
The current setting appears in bold type. The “Letter” and
“Legal” paper sizes common in the United States use the
PC-8 character set. If the model supports A4-size paper
common in Europe, the “A4” paper size uses the PC-850
character set. To change the default setting, see “Setting
Default Paper Size” on page 26.
◆ The serial speed and other serial settings (data bit,
serial parity, stop bit, and Xon/Xoff) used with a serial
interface. The current serial speed appears in bold
type. To change these settings, see “Optional Serial
Interface” on page 20.
◆ The firmware version number.
◆ The memory size, for example, 512 KB or 2 MB.
◆ The setting of the auto-off timer. To change the setting,
see “Auto-off Timer Feature” on page 29.
For the Letter/A4 512 KB model, the Printer Status section
shows “Country” instead of “Paper Size.” It does not show
the Memory Size and the settings for Xon/Xoff and the auto-
off timer.
“Country” shows the default paper size and character set.
The current setting appears in bold type: “USA” for letter-size
paper and PC-8 character set, or “Europe” for A4-size paper
and PC-850 character set. To change the default setting,
see “Setting Default Paper Size” on page 26.
