Example: Changing the Vertical Pitch

To become familiar with the Set-Up mode, try the following example. This example
shows how to change the vertical pitch in Macro 2 from 6 lines per inch to 8 lines per
inch.

1.

Enter the Set-Up mode.
Turn the printer off and back on while pressing the Set-Up/Quit button until the
printer beeps.

2.

Select the Macro 2 function.
Wait for the printer to stop printing and press the

button once to position the

red cursor on the plastic guide of the print head under MACRO 2. Press the
button or the button to select the Macro 2 function and print the <PROTO-
COL> option and its values.

3.

Print the menu of the vertical pitch option.
Since you only want to change the vertical pitch, press the button to select the
current protocol. Bolded PORT DEPND is underlined, and the next option
<PRTCL SERL> is printed. (The bolded value indicates the current setting, and
the underlined value is the new setting.) Repeatedly press the button in the
same way until the <VERT PITCH> option and its values are printed.

4.

Change the vertical pitch from 6 to 8 lines per inch.
Press the

button once to position the red cursor beneath 8 LPI. Press the

button to select 8 LPI. 8 LPI is underlined, and the next option, <HORZ
PITCH>, and its values are printed.

5.

Exit the Macro 2 function.
Since you do not want to make any other changes in MACRO 2, press the Exit/
Save
button. The <FUNCTIONS> menu is then reprinted, and the red cursor is
positioned beneath SAVE&EXIT.
