Configuration Utility Program

Pertech Provides a Configuration Utility for the 5300 series that is downloadable from the Pertech web site. The Configuration Utility offers an alternative to the One Button Configuration explained later in this section. This utility requires a Windows XP or 2000 operating system and is easily installed. To install the Utility run setup.exe and follow instructions on the screen. For updated or additional information consult the readme / help file included with the software.

The Configuration Utility is organized in tabs and drop down box’s and shows the available options for each Printer Control Language (PCL) selected.

Host and printer communication settings can be config- ured within the application to steamline the setup for the system and printer. Before using the utility to configure a printer, the user should verify the host communication settings match the connection to the printer. The com- munication settings used to transmit information to the printer are displayed on the bottom of the form

The utility may be configured to download using RS232 or USB. RS232 may be configured to use hardware or software handshaking, baud rates of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 on a choice of COM ports 1-9.

If the settings are incorrect, you may click on the “Set- tings” menu, then select “Host Communication Settings”, or press CTRL-H on the keyboard.

The “Configure” button will open up a window displaying allowed changes to the configuration of the 5300. See “Printer Configuration Options” for more information on the various options available. These items are what will be sent when the “Send” button is clicked. If there is a padlock icon in the bottom right of this window, then the configuration items can not be changed.

The “Send” button is what actually transmits the informa- tion set up in “Configure” to the printer. Make sure the host communications parameters match the connected printer, and that the printer is connected. It may take

a few moments to transmit all the data. The 5300 may need to reset itself several times during this process. Do not disconnect the printer until the “Finished” dialog box appears. If for some reason the utility can not configure an item, you will be prompted with a choice to “Abort” the entire configuration process, “Ignore” (or skip) only the particular item that it can not configure, or to “Retry”.

The “Print” button is used to print a self-test so that the configuration can be verified. Like the “Send” button, the printer must be connected, powered on, with the param- eters displayed on the bottom of the window matching those of the currently connected printer. (Note that it is possible to have changed the printer communications settings if new settings were specified on a previous “Send”). Note that the printer is not able to receive data while the ticket is printing. Please wait until the ticket

is finished before clicking “Send” or “Print” or a transmit error message will be displayed.

The “Exit” button will prompt the user if it would like to save the settings for a later session. If yes, then there is also an option to lock those settings, so that they can not be changed again without a password.
