Store Configuration in Printer
To store the configuration in the printer’s flash memory, make sure the
serial cable from your computer is connected to the printer’s 25-pin serial
port. A
9-to-25-pin adapter may be used on the communication cable supplied
with the verifier.
Saving a configuration in the printer’s flash memory allows you to
reference a particular verifier configuration by number (in the verifier field
of a format) or allows you to pick the configuration (by name) from the
offline menu.
Before you save the configuration to the printer’s flash memory, you must
format flash memory.
From the Main Menu, select Setup, Flash Memory, and Format Flash.
Formatting flash memory is only required once during initial printer setup.
1. Select File, Store Configuration in Printer… or click the button for
this option on the toolbar.

particular format by using this number in the verifier field in your
format.

enter here appears in the offline
menu for the mode selection.
