4–16 Configuration Menus
Protect Configs.
You can specify whether or not a new configuration should overwrite an existing
configuration when you activate the Save Configs. parameter. When disabled
(default), the new configuration will overwrite the existing configuration. When
enabled, the new configuration will
not
overwrite the existing configuration, and
the message “CONFIG. EXISTS / Delete First” displays.
Name Configs.
You can specify a 15 character name which can be used to refer to a
configuration. The name you enter for a configuration will be used in the Load
Config., Save Config., Print Config., Delete Config., and Power–Up Config.
menus. The configuration names are special and apply to the printer rather than
a particular configuration. They are not saved as any part of a configuration, but
stored separately in NVRAM. The names can only be cleared by using the Reset
Cfg Names menu.
When you move into the Name Config menu, the top line of the display shows
the current configuration name string of that configuration. The second line of the
display is initially the same as the top line. You can modify the second line of the
display without affecting the top line until the ENTER key is pressed, selecting
the modified name as the current selection.
If you press the NEXT or PREV (
A
or " ) keys, the cursor will move to the next
or previous character, wrapping to the first or last character. The cursor indicates
the character in the string that will be modified when you press the UP or DOWN
(
Y or B ) keys. At this point, the UP and DOWN (
Y or B ) keys cycle through
the values available for that character at the cursor location. To select another
character to modify, press the PREV or NEXT (
A
or " ) key. Press the ENTER
key at any time to save the configuration name string as shown on the front panel
and move out of this menu. You can press any key other than the ENTER key to
move up and out of this menu. The configuration name string will revert to the
last saved value.
Reset Cfg Name
You can reset specific configuration names back to the default value of the
configuration number.
