An invalid option parameter (a value outside the valid range for the option)
will result in the following message. The example shown indicates that the
parameter value for Option #45 was not in the valid range for that option:
DOWNLOAD ERROR - BAD DATA FIELD VALUE
45=X
X THROWN AWAY
In the event that this message is printed, the user must resend the command
sequence for Option #45 with a parameter value in the valid range for that
option.
An invalid separator message indicates that the option number and the
parameter value were not separated by an equals sign (=):
DOWNLOAD ERROR - BAD FIELD SEPARATOR
Downloading Programmable Function Strings
PFS downloading commands take the following format:
Trigger 1 (the cent sign ¢ is the default) - percent sign (%) - PFS # -
hexadecimal data pair(s) - percent sign (%). Note that the percent sign both
initiates and terminates the downloading sequence. No spaces are allowed.
For example, if Trigger 1 is the default cent sign (¢), the following
sequence will define the PFS 0  Power On Sequence as the hexadecimal
pairs 31h and 32h:
¢%03132%
The cent sign (¢) is Trigger 1; the first percent sign (%) indicates that the
following character sequence is a PFS configuration command; the numeral
zero (0) indicates that the PFS to be defined is PFS 0; the numerals 31 and
32 are the hexadecimal pairs that will be sent to the printer when this PFS is
invoked; and the second percent sign (%) is the terminator.
To replace the definition of a PFS, download a new definition. To delete a
PFS, replace the definition with a space (the ASCII space character is 20h).
For example, the following sequence deletes the contents of PFS 0:
¢%020%
PFSs are restricted to a maximum of 76 characters. The custom banner
(PFS D) is entered as text, rather than as pairs of hexadecimal characters.
