Chapter 2 Configuring The Validator
70
Scanner Settings
This option has two purposes:
• Allows the validator to upload an optimized setting for a
particular printer size at power up. This will use the full scanner
beam width and improve the performance and efficiency of the
validator.
• Allows you to customize a special scanner setting for a specific
application. The feature file can then be downloaded to the
printer by using normal printer download procedures and must
be saved as part of the power up configuration. For more
information, contact the Printronix Customer Support Center.
See “Contact Information” on page 95.
To set this option when a feature file has been downloaded:
1. Press to take the printer offline and place the printer in
Menu mode.
2. If necessary, press ↓ and
↵ at the same time to unlock the
↵ key.
3. If necessary, press until VALIDATOR displays.
4. Press ↑ until Scanner Settings displays.
5. Press + or – to scroll through the options: Default or feature
file 1, feature file 2, etc. (up to seven feature files). The default
is Default 4xx, Default 6yy, or Default 8zz (4, 6, and 8 inch
printers respectively; xx, yy, and zz are file revision numbers).
6. Press
↵ to accept the desired value.
7. Save this configuration and set it as the Power-Up
configuration in the CONFIG CTRL menu.
8. Cycle power for the new setting to take effect.
9. The beam may need to be moved horizontally. See “Beam
Shift” on page 72.
