Pressing the first key and the second key simultaneously to generate a first user key instruction, entering a menu item, and printing the menu item through printing paper by a printer;
wherein, the bottom item of the menu items printed by the printer is the currently selected submenu.
Pressing the first key or the second key to generate a second user key instruction, and moving the printing paper to select the submenu; pressing the first key and the second key simultaneously, generating a first user key instruction again to enter the parameter item of the currently selected submenu, and printing the parameter item of the submenu by the printer; a currently selected parameter item of a bottom-most behavior of the printed menu items.
Pressing the first key or the second key to generate a second user key instruction so as to move printing paper to a parameter item to be selected; and simultaneously pressing the first key and the second key to generate a first user key instruction so as to enter the currently selected parameter item.
When the parameter item is selected, the printer reprints the parameter item to be selected, prints the marker in front of the selected parameter item, and stores the corresponding parameter.
The selection parameter value can be set in various ways, for example, a first key and a second key are pressed simultaneously under the parameter item list to generate a first user key, and the printer prints the alternative selection parameter items in a matrix way. Generating a second user key instruction by pressing the first key or the second key so as to move printing paper to an alternative selection parameter item row to be selected; and continuously pressing the first key, and pressing the second key for multiple times, wherein the times of pressing the second key are the alternative selection parameter item columns to be selected. The printer prints the selected candidate parameter item, prints a marker in front of the selected parameter item, presses the first key and the second key simultaneously to generate a first user key instruction to confirm the candidate parameter item, and stores the corresponding parameter.
The input parameter value can be set in various ways: for example, the printer prints the parameter values on printing paper in a matrix mode through the printing paper, and generates a second user key by pressing a first key or a second key so as to move the printing paper to a parameter value row to be selected; and continuously pressing the first key, and pressing the first key for multiple times to generate a third user key instruction. And selecting the parameter value sequence through a third user key instruction, wherein the number of times of pressing the second key is the parameter value sequence to be selected. The parameter values in the matrix are selected by selecting the parameter value columns and the parameter value rows. The printer again prints the parameter values in a matrix and prints a marker in front of the currently selected parameter value. And generating a first user key instruction by pressing the first key and the second key simultaneously to determine a selection parameter value and store a corresponding parameter value.
The submenus are displayed in pages, and each page displays 6 menu lines. The parameter values include numbers, letters, arabic symbols. The marker may be any one of an asterisk, a dashed line, a circle.
In a specific embodiment, after the first key is pressed, the second key is pressed, and the selected parameter is determined by the number of times the first key is pressed, for example, when the selection direction of the first key is pressed is upward, the selected parameter can be finally determined by pressing the first key for different times.
