Syntax for single packet

{	Start of Header
I,	Configuration Packet Identifier
A, parameter 1...parameter 5	System Setup
}	End of Header

You can also add a configuration to non-volatile RAM or specify units for supply, print, margin, and cut positions. If you use the optional parameters with the I packet, any online configuration packets following the split vertical bar ( p ) must specify distances using the selected units. However, the test labels display the units in dots, even if you entered them in English or Metrics units.

Syntax		{header,ID#,action,device p }
1. header	Constant I.
2. ID#	ID. Use 0.
3. action	A	Add configuration.
	U	Upload User Configuration.
4. device	Storage Device. Options:
		M	Memory
		N	Nonvolatile RAM
		R	Volatile RAM
5. units	Units.		(Optional parameter.) Options:
		E	English
		M	Metric
		G	Dots
Example		{I,0,A,N,E p
		C,0,25,0,0,0 p }

Adds a configuration to non-volatile RAM and specifies English units. It also uses the default contrast, moves print 0.25 inches closer to the bottom of the supply and does not change the margin adjustment, prints at the default print speed, and uses the default printhead width.
