[. . . ] Display Message Network Mode Continue printing if the "TONER EMPTY" error occurs. (Factory setting) Stop printing if the "TONER EMPTY" error occurs. TONER LOW=CONT TONER LOW=STOP ERROR PRINT Note The setting in this mode menu is effective only in the BR-Script 2 mode. It does not appear in any other emulation modes. You can turn on or off the error print mode in this mode. Display Message Error Mode Turn on the error mode so that the printer prints an error if it occurs. Turn off the error mode so that the printer does not print an error if it occurs. (Factory setting) ERROR PRINT=ON ERROR PRINT=OFF CONTINUE MODE If any recoverable error occurs including "Toner Empty, " it can be cleared with the CONTINUE switch. Display Message Continue Mode Select the manual or auto error recovery mode. You need not press the CONTINUE switch. CONTINUE=MANUAL CONTINUE=AUTO 4­44 CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL BUZZER SETTING You can turn the buzzer of this printer on or off. If any errors occur and the buzzer is turned on, the printer beeps to alert you. (Factory setting) Turn off the buzzer. BUZZER=ON BUZZER=OFF SCALABLE FONT Note The setting in this mode menu is effective only in the HP LaserJet mode. It does not appear in any other emulation modes. Since this printer has many scalable fonts, some application programs may not be able to handle them correctly. When the HP LaserJet emulation mode has been selected, the printer may print a different font rather than the font you have selected with your program (or the font selection command). To cope with this font problem, you can restrict the font selection by this command as follows: Display Message Scalable Font All scalable fonts of this printer can be selected with the font selection command. (Factory setting) Scalable fonts of this printer other than the following can be selected with the font selection command: Atlanta, Bermuda Script, PC Brussels, Copenhagen, Germany, Portugal, Calgary, San Diego, and US Roman. FONT=ALL FONT=LJ Even if you restrict the font selection as above, you can select among all the scalable fonts with the FONT switch. The setting in this mode menu merely restricts the font selection command. 4­45 USER'S GUIDE PRINT DENSITY You can increase or decrease the print density with the v or w switch in this mode menu as follows: Display Message sssssssssssssss ssssssssssssss : ss s Print Density The more black squares, the darker the print density. (Factory setting = ssssssss ) INPUT BUFFER You can increase or decrease the capacity of the input buffer with the v or w switch in this mode menu. A larger capacity allows the printer to receive data from the computer faster. Display Message ttttttttttttttt tttttttttttttt : : tt t Input Buffer The more squares, the larger the capacity of the input buffer. The squares indicate the level of the capacity but not the size in Mbytes. (Factory setting =ttttt) After you change the input buffer capacity (make sure you press SET switch), be sure to turn off the printer and then turn it on again. The setting takes effect the next time you turn on the printer. Notes · The set capacity is not changed even if the emulation mode is changed. · The actual capacity of the input buffer varies according to the installed RAM. [. . . ] The bar code data automatically starts and ends with an asterisk " * " (start character and stop character). If the received data has an asterisk " * " at its beginning or end, the asterisk is regarded as a start character or stop character. · When Interleaved 2 of 5 is selected with the parameter "t1" or "T1": Ten numerical characters "0" to "9" can be accepted as bar code data. Since this mode of bar codes require even characters, if the bar code data has odd characters, the zero character "0" is automatically added to the end of the bar code data. [. . . ]
