Configuration ID
The two configuration IDs are used to communicate information about certain areas of the printer that cannot be
determined using hardware sensors. The configuration IDs are originally set at the factory when the printer is
manufactured, however the servicer may need to reset Configuration ID 1 or Configuration ID 2 whenever you
replace the system board. The IDs consist of eight hexadecimal characters, including 0 through 9 and A
through F.
Note: When the printer detects a Configuration ID that is not defined or invalid, the following occurs:
• The default standard model Configuration ID is used instead.
• Configuration ID is the only function available in DIAGNOSTICS.
• Unless the menu is in DIAGNOSTICS, Check Config ID displays.
To set the configuration ID:
1. Select Printer Setup from the Diagnostic mode.
2. Select Configuration ID from the Printer Setup menu.
Submitting Selection displays, followed by the value for Configuration ID 1.
3. Enter the Configuration ID 1.
• To select a digit or character to change, press or until the digit or character is underlined.
• To change a digit or character, press to increase or to decrease the value.
• When the last digit is changed, press to validate the Configuration ID 1.
If Invalid ID appears, the entry is discarded, and the previous Configuration ID 1 is displayed on
the screen.
If the process is successful, Submitting Selection appears on the display, followed by the
current value for Confirguration ID 2.
4. Repeat the steps for entering the Configuration ID, and press .
If the Configuration ID 2 is validated, Submitting Selection appears, and a check ( ) appears next
to Printer Setup.
5. Restart the printer.
Edge to Edge
When this setting is On, the text and graphics are shifted to the physical edges of the paper for all margins.
When the setting is Off, the normal margins are restored.
Parallel strobe adjustment (Par x Strobe Adj)
This setting adjusts the amount of time the strobe is sampled in order to determine if the valid data is available
on the parallel port. The range of values are from -4 to 6, and the default is 0 for Par S Strobe Adj,
Par 1 Strobe Adj, and Par 2 Strobe Adj. After adjustment of 1 increment, the strobe samples 50 ns longer.
