The user can choose to Lock Settings if desired. This prevents accidental changes from occurring in both the host communication settings and configuration items.

When exiting the utility via the “Exit” button, there is a prompt to save the current settings to disk. If the user clicks “Yes”, then there is a second prompt asking if locking is desired. To lock, click “yes” again and enter a password, which can be used to unlock the settings later if desired. A padlock icon will be displayed at the bottom right if the utility is currently locked. To unlock, go to the “Settings” menu under “Lock Configuration Settings” or pressing CTRL-N on the keyboard and enter the pass- word used to lock the utility.

Modify Host Communication

RS232: For RS232 connections, the baud rate and handshaking method must match how the current printer is configured. If you are unsure how the printer is con- figured, print a self-test (hold the feed button and cycle power). Make sure that a null modem cable is connect- ed between the selected COM port and the printer.

USB: No special settings are required.

IEEE1284 is not available on the 5300.

Click on OK when the interface and parameters match those of the connected printer.

Host communications will appear greyed out if the set- tings have been locked.

Note: Under “Printer Configuration Options”, you may change the communications parameters so that they will no longer match the host configuration. The printer com- munications parameters are sent last and they do not take effect until the final printer reset when updating the printer. However, if the printer needs re-configured after the update process, the host communication parameters will then need to be changed to match the printer’s new settings.

Printer Configuration Options

Click the “Configure” button to open the configuration window. Settings will appear greyed out if the settings have been locked.

The 5300 has several different compatible languages or “PCL’s” available. Because the compatibility mode affects so many other configuration items, if the compat- ibility changes, all other items are reset. (Note that not all items are available depending on which compatibility mode is selected).

For all configuration items, click on the list boxes for each item to change an option. If an option is left blank, which will be the case if the “Clear” button is pressed, then that item will not be changed in the printer. Click “OK” or “Apply” to accept the settings. Clicking “OK” will close the window, and you will return to the main screen. Neither “OK” or “Apply” save the items to disk, the pro- gram must be exited to save the configuration.

If you are unsure about any of the particular items in any of the Tabs, consult the appropriate 5300 manual for the compatibility mode you are using.

If an item is left blank, then that item will not be changed on the connected printer.

Printer Control Language

There are seven printer control languages available in the configuration menu. If you are unsure which control language your application needs to communicate with the printer, contact your Pertech representative or application vendor for assistance.

A Hex Dump Diagnostic mode setting is available for printing of Hex information helpful in determining control code issues.

The Auto Line feed setting can be changed to allow Car- riage Returns to be treated as Line Feeds. Additionally, some control languages offer an ACK on CR for status back to the host ( See your Compatibility Mode Program- ming manual for details on how to implement ).

The Soft Fault Recover (ACL mode only ) setting allows for Automatic or Host Controlled recover when a Soft Fault occurs. Examples of Soft Faults occurrences are Cover Open, Paper Out etc. ........
