Appendix F
Saving a Configuration File
With application version 5.01, the printer can save and restore complete printer
settings, including media calibration parameters, as internal Configuration Files.
Here are the highlights and restrictions of this feature:
• Configuration files eliminate the need to repeat the manual steps of a
special printer setup, making future changeovers faster and easier.
• Configuration files can be setup, saved, and restored either from the host or
via the front panel as ‘C-type’ files on Module Y under unique filenames
that can be up to nineteen characters in length.
• Configuration files enable the host, via special DPL commands, to control
parameters previously accessible only from the front panel (consult the
Programmers Manual for details).
• Regular host settings can not be saved using the front panel menu.
þ Note: Configuration files will typically correspond to a particular printer and
media application. If a file will be shared among printers, do not
include unique parameters (such as calibrations and adjustments)
because those settings will vary from one unit to another.
When using the front panel to save a configuration file (see Section 4.1.5), the
keypad functions within the ‘Save Setting As’ submenu are as follows:
Œ
The DOWN ARROW key scrolls down through the
alphanumeric, underscore, and delete character.
•
The UP ARROW key scrolls up through the alphanumeric
and underscore characters, and the delete function.
Ž
The ENTER key accepts the displayed character and
advances the cursor.
•
Saves the displayed file.
