Thanks, this worked. On power on you have to press 'Form Feed' and
'Line Feed' (maybe just one, but this worked also).
Then it prints the options. By pressing Form-Feed you can change an
option, 'Local' is used as Acknowledgement.
Maybe someone can add this at funet, cause in the net there wasn't a
digital manual or some other information about this.
Bo Zimmers CBM Site had also some printers with Settings information,
but he left the settings out for the mps1230.
