Using Set-Up Mode5-16The procedure for changing the MACRO 1 and MACRO 2 options are presented inthe previous sections of this chapter.Macro 1 and Macro 2 Options and ValueszOverprinted values are the factory settings.zSome settings are overridden by commands from the computer.zOptions that differ by protocol are described at the end of the table.Macro1/Macro 2ValuesDescriptionDEC PPL2IBM PPX24EPSON ESCPAUTOPORT DEPNDSelect the same protocol as that selectedby your software.DEC PPL2 printers– IBM Proprinter X24E printers (LA48N)– IBM Proprinter XL24E printers (LA48W)Epson printers using the ESC/P2 protocolThe printer automatically senses the activeprotocol. This is useful when you use vari-ous applications in a DOS or network envi-ronment and cannot determine theprotocol. The efficiency of this functionrelies on the recognition of controlsequences that are protocol specific. Ifsuch control sequences are not detectedin the data string received, the printer mayfail to determine the proper protocol, pro-viding an unexpected result.The printer selects a protocol according tothe active interface (parallel, serial orUSB). See the next options.(Protocol Serial)DEC PPL2IBM PPX24EPSON ESCPSelect a protocol for the serial interface.This is invalid and skipped when PORTDEPND is not selected for the option.DEC PPL2 printers (factory setting forMacro 1 and Macro 2).– IBM Proprinter X24E printers (LA48N)– IBM Proprinter XL24E printers (LA48W)Epson printers using the ESC/P2 protocol.
