Appendix B The PTR_SETUP Commands

Commands

Each emulation has modes in which the PTR_SETUP commands could get missed. For this reason, it is highly recommended that all PTR_SETUP commands be placed between print jobs, rather than attempting to imbed them within jobs.

PTR_SETUP commands have the following format:

(SFCC)PTR_SETUP

Command–Sub Command;Value

PTR_END

For example, if the SFCC assigned to the emulation you are using is the caret (^, hex 5E), and you wanted to load configuration number 4 and capture all incoming data to a file named “BIN”, you would use the following command:

^PTR_SETUP

CONFIG–LOAD;4 FILE_IO–CAPTURE;BIN PTR_END

Table 80 lists all the command, sub-command, and parameter combinations and gives a brief description of the command.

NOTE: When a file system error occurs, a message will be displayed on the front panel indicating the error, and the action needed to take to correct the error.

Table 80. PTR_SETUP Commands

Command	Sub-Command	Parameter	Description
CONFIG	LOAD	Cfg	Cfg can be 0-8. The PTR_SETUP
			will load configuration Cfg. If
			configuration Cfg was not previously
			saved, the operator panel will
			display an error message and the
			current configuration will be kept.
	SAVE	Cfg	Cfg must be 1-8. This command will
			save the current configuration as
			configuration Cfg. If Cfg is not in the
			range of 1-8, the command is
			ignored.
	POWERUP	Cfg	Sets the power-up configuration to
			Cfg and loads Configuration Cfg.
			Cfg can be any value from 0-8,
			where 0 is the factory default.
	PRINT	Cfg	Print Configuration Cfg. Cfg can be
			a number 1-8, or one of four pre-
			defined configurations. The four
			non-numeric configurations are
			requested using the first character
			for the CURRENT, FACTORY,
			POWERUP, or ALL configuration(s).
