Configura tion Synt ax Guidelines
When creating a printer configuration packet:
✦
Follow the "Standard Syntax Guidelines" listed at the
beginning of this chapter.
✦
Begin a packet with the configuration header (
I
).
✦
Download multiple configuration packets within one
packet or download a single configuration packet.
✦
If you change ANY of the online configuration packets,
resend the format packet to the printer, so the
configuration changes take effect.
✦
Include the first five ANSI codes, at a minimum, in the
control characters packet.
✦
Make sure the host settings match the settings
contained in the communication settings packet.
✦
Record the new configuration for future reference.
