in step 9 press the LOAD button. Depending upon what was repaired in the
printer, the Setup information in the printer’s memory may not have been

Using the Setup Module to
Copy Setup Data From One Printer to Another
This use of the Setup Module is beneficial when installing or updating
several printers that need to be configured exactly the same. To do this,
you will need to perform the installation procedure once for each printer.
First, install the Setup Module on the printer where the Setup data is to be
copied from. If the printer determines that steps 8 and 9 are required,
choose “Copy to Module” in step 9 and allow the printer’s power up
procedures to complete. If any additional changes need to be made to the
configuration of this printer, enter Setup and make them before removing
the Setup Module. Any changes made will automatically be stored both in
the printer’s internal memory and the Setup Module.
You may now power off the printer and remove the Setup Module.
Remember to reconnect the serial cable if one was attached.
Now perform the installation procedure on each of the printers that are to
be configured the same as the first. In step 9 be sure to press the LOAD
button to copy data to the printer. After the Setup Module is removed,
remember to reconnect the serial cable if one was attached.
Note: Setup modules for Printek FormsMaster 8000 Series printers and
PrintMaster 850 Series printers are not interchangeable. Data backup will
not take place if the modules are used on the wrong printer.
