Use online configuration packets to change the printer settings. You must send the online configuration packets one at a time, supplying all parameters for each packet. Leave the parameters blank that you do not need to change. For example,

{I,A,,,,1 p } prints a slashed zero and uses the last sent online System Setup parameters.

Make a copy of the online configuration worksheet in Appendix D, "Format Design Tools," and save the original. Packets A - M are listed on the worksheet.

When you turn off the printer, all the information in the online configuration packets is saved and used when the printer is turned back on. After you change printer configurations, you must resend the format, batch, or graphic to the printer before the changes take effect.
