Saving the Setting
The new setting will remain in the printer’s RAM memory until it is turned
off. To understand why, you should realize that there are four different types
of settings stored in the printer’s memories.
l The FACTORY SETTINGS, which are those put into the printer’s
unchangable ROM memory at the factory.
l The POWER-UP SETTINGS, which the user can create, then store in a
permanent memory called NV RAM, even when the power is turned off
at the end of the session in which they are created. These settings will
then override the Factory Settings, being activated when the printer is
turned off, then on again.
l The INITIAL SETTINGS, which the user can create and use as long as
the printer is not turned off. These are stored in temporary or volatile
RAM memory. They override the Power-up Settings.
l The CURRENT SETTINGS, which are those stored in temporary RAM
memory. These may be issued by software commands that override all
other settings.
To make the setting permanent, you must save it in NV RAM! Perform this
programming sequence, after taking the printer off line.
