IBM 4029 OSR
If the printer completes all these steps and no error messages are displayed, the
POST has successfully completed and the printer is ready to receive data.
Configuration
The operator has some of the following options for working with printer configuration
settings:
View or change the data stream (PPDS, HP**, Postscript, plotter)
View or change the paper/envelope size
Change the font source
Change the print orientation
Change the print mode
Print a test page
Change the number of text lines per page
Select the power saver option
Print a list of available fonts
Restore the printer to its factory default settings.
Although these functions can be set from the operator panel, the host computer or
software may override both user and factory default settings. Make sure the printer
is set up correctly and have the customer make sure the software is set up correctly
before servicing the printer.
