MENU OPTIONS

PRINT-OUT (PRNT OUT) GROUP
    The print-out menu group contains special menus for printing out inform-
    ation related to the printer itself. The DEMO and HELP menus do not have
    options; press SAVE after selecting the menu to print the information.

    If data remains in the buffer when you press SAVE, the display shows the
    DATA/IN BUFFER error message for two seconds. See "Error Messages".

DEMO PATTERN PRINT-OUT (DEMO)
    Prints one page of demo pattern and returns to the off-line mode. Press
    the ON-LINE switch to stop printing, and press it again to continue.

HELP PRINT-OUT (HELP)
    Prints the control panel help information and returns to the off-line
    mode. Press the ON LINE switch to stop printing, and press it again to
    continue.

CONFIGURATION PRINT-OUT (CONFIG)
    You may want to know the default or current printer setup condition. 
    Press SELECT to select the current or default settings, and then press 
    SAVE to let the printer print it. The DMP-240 returns to off-line mode 
    after printing the configuration report.

MACRO CONTROL (MAC CTRL) GROUP
    The macro control (MAC CTRL) group contains two items; load macro (LOAD
    MAC) and define macro (DEFN MAC). Macro is a set of user-changeable 
    printer settings that can include typeface, pitch, page layout, and so 
    on.  Once defined, you only need to load the macro to set the various 
    characteristics at once.

    Use the LOAD MAC menu to choose a macro for the current printer oper-
    ation, and the DEFN MAC menu to change the settings of a macro. See 
    "Using Macros" for more detail about macros.

LOAD MACRO (LOAD MAC)
    Loads a macro to replace the current macro. If data remains the in the 
    receive buffer, the DATA/IN BUFFER error message appears when you press
    SAVE. See "Error Messages".

DEFINE MACRO (DEFN MAC)
    Defines the settings of a macro and stores it in the non-volatile memory
    of the printer.

EMULATION (EMLATION) GROUP
    Selects the emulation mode of the printer -- either Epson or IBM. If 
    data remains in the receive buffer, the DATA/IN BUFFER error message 
    appears when you press SAVE. See "Error Messages".

    Note that some menu items are displayed or suppressed according to the 
    emulation mode you select. When you select Epson emulation, the follow-
    ing menus appear in the setup menu sequence:

    PRN STYL/ITALICS, PG LYOUT/PG SKIP, INSTALL/SLCT IN, CHR TABL/COUNTRY, 
    and CHR TABL/CHR SET.

    In IBM mode, the following menus appear in the setup menu sequence:

    PRN STYL/ZERO, PRN STYL/AGM MMODE, INSTALL/AUTO CR, CHR TABL/CODE PG, 
    and CHR TABL/CHR SET.

PRINTING STYLE (PRN STYL) GROUP
    The printing style (PRN STYL) group contains:
      Font type (FONT)
      Character pitch (PITCH)
      Condensed printing (CONDENSE)
      Slashed zero (ZERO) (IBM emulation only)
      Italics (ITALICS) (Epson emulation only)
      Printing color (COLOR)
      Alternate graphics mode (AGM MODE) (IBM emulation only)

FONT TYPE (FONT)
    Selects a font type. You can also make this selection directly in the 
    on-line mode by quick setting.  For controlling the font type from your
    computer, refer to the DOT-MATRIX PRINTER DMP-240 TECHNICAL REFERENCE 
    manual.  However, commands from the computer are rejected if you select
    FONTS or  ALL STYL in the PRN MODE/SW LOCK menu.

CHARACTER PITCH (PITCH)
    Determines the character pitch in characters per inch. If PROPORT is 
    selected, each character is given space proportional to its width; the 
    letter "i" takes up less space than the letter "w". You can also make 
    this selection in the on-line mode by quick setting.

    See the DOT-MATRIX PRINTER DMP-240 TECHNICAL REFERENCE manual for the 
    relevant control commands. However, these commands are rejected if you
    select ALL STYL in the PRN MODE/SW LOCK menu.

CONDENSED PRINTING (CONDENSE)
    Selects either normal or condensed printing. In condensed printing, the
    character width is compressed to 60% of the normal width (as selected 
    in the PRN STYL/PITCH menu). You cannot condense a character with a 
    pitch of 15 CPI or higher.

    See the DOT-MATRIX PRINTER DMP-240 TECHNICAL REFERENCE manual for con-
    trol commands from the computer. However, these codes are rejected if 
    you select ALL STYL in the PRN MODE/SW LOCK menu.

SLASHED ZERO (ZERO)
    Selects either unslashed or slashed zero.

ITALICS (ITALICS)
    Enables or disables the sue of italic characters in the Epson mode.

    See the DOT-MATRIX PRINTER DMP-240 TECHNICAL REFERENCE manual for con-
    trol commands from the computer. However, this command is rejected if 
    you select ALL STYL in the PRN MODE/SW LOCK menu.
