Default macro The preset defaults include a default macro. Each time you turn the LQ-2500 on, it needs setup instructions. The LQ-2500 uses the settings contained in the default macro to prepare for printing. When you receive your LQ, the default macro is set for macro 1. This means that when you turn the printer on, it prints according to the settings listed in macro 1. The Default Macro setting gives you the option of selecting any of the four macros as the default macro. For example, if you print spreadsheets most of the time, you could select the preset macro 3 as the default macro. Or you can create and save you own macro as the default macro. Parallel interface systems If your computer has a parallel interface, the preset defaults should work correctly Check your computer manual to confirm that it uses a parallel interface. Although the list of defaults includes Baud Rate and Parity settings, these apply only to serial interfaces. As indicated on Table 2-2, the display does not show these settings if the parallel interface option is selected. Serial interface systems If your computer has a serial interface, you'll need to change the defaults. When you select the serial interface option, you will then need to set both the baud rate and parity Baud rate is the rate at which the printer receives data from the computer. The LQ-2500 has seven baud rate settings from 300bps to 19200bps (bps means bits per second). You should check your computer manual (or application program) for the correct baud rate setting. Your computer and printer should always be set to the same baud rate. Parity is a method for a computer and printer to check the reliability of data transmission. Again, check your computer manual and make sure your computer and printer have the same parity setting. 2-14 SelecType

is the rate at which the printer receives data from the

is a method for a computer and printer to check the reliability
of data transmission. Again, check your computer manual and make
