Always include an I, immediately after the left bracket { and before the packet identifier (A, B, C, etc.). The I parameter identifies the data stream as a configuration packet.

Include the I parameter with each packet if you are sending them individually. Include it only at the beginning of a data stream if you are sending multiple packets.

This is the syntax to use when you create online configuration packets:

Syntax

{		Start of Header
I,		Configuration Header
1 - 8 optional records	p	System Setup
A, parameter 1...parameter 5	p	System Setup
B, parameter 1...parameter 5	p	Supply Setup
C, parameter 1...parameter 5	p	Print Control
D, parameter 1...parameter 3	p	Monetary Formatting
E, parameter 1...parameter 9	p	Control Characters
F, parameter 1...parameter 5	p	Communication Settings
G, parameter 1...parameter 4	p	Backfeed Control
M, parameter 1...parameter 4	p	Memory Configuration
}		End of Header
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 diagnostic labels display the units in dots, even if you entered them in English or Metrics units.
