SelecType

The SelecType function on the printer control panel allows you to

print test pages, display memory size, select paper sizes, and change

your printer’s configuration without using DIP switches or software

commands. However, use SelecType only when you are unable to

use your application software to control settings required for your

print job.

Note: New SelecType settings are in effect only until you turn off the

printer unless you save them with the Level 1 SYSTEM CONFIG

option or the Level 2 P-CONFlG SAVE option described later in this

chapter.

SelecType is divided into two levels as shown below. A brief

description of each main menu option follows.
