There may be a number of reasons for the 6312 failing to keep your settings, the first thing to identify would be that you have changed the settings on the printer and then saved these settings. If you do not save the settings to a menu / configuration they will be lost if the printer is powered off or receives a reset command.
Once you have made your settings changes, the settings can be saved in the following way;
Ensure the pritner is OFFLINE Press Menu Press Up Arrow until display shows Config Menu Press Enter Press Up Arrow until display shows Configurations Press Enter Press Up Arrow until display shows Save Press Enter Press Up Arrow until the Config Number Or Name appears that you want to save the settings to (Default is Confg 1) Press Enter Press Clear, to return to Offline mode.
If you save your settings you can then print a configuration report to see the values that have been saved, this can be done in the following way;
With the printer OFFLINE Press the Menu key Press any Arrow key until display shows Config Menu. Press the Enter key. Press any Arrow key until display shows Printer. Press the Enter key. Press any Arrow key until display shows Report. Press the Enter key. Press any Arrow key until display shows All Configs. Press the Enter key and the configurations will be printed.
This should show your saved settings, try powerign th epritner off and back on again and again print the Congfig report to check the settings are retained.
If you find the settings appear to change when you print to the printer this will be caused by your print job, escape commands in the print job will take presidence over the printer menu settings. You would need to check the host computer system to see what might be causing the problem; chack page size, fonts, ensure the correct printer driver is used etc on the system.
