Each item setup line must appear under the appropriate heading line. The first heading line ni the file must be [BeginPrintekSetup]. The last heading line in the file must be [EndPrintekSetup]. All other heading lines and item setup lines are optional.

If any errors exist in the remote setup file, no changes will be made to the printer configuration. When possible, the printer will indicate the line number in the file where the first error occurred. Counting of lines begins with 1 at the [BeginPrintekSetup] heading line. Any lines preceding this will not be processed, and will not be counted.

Before sending the remote setup file to the printer, minimal setup is required via an escape sequence. The I/O interface to be used for remote setup must be configured appropriately to communicate with the host system, and the printer must be placed in remote setup mode. This is done by sending a 3-byte escape sequence to the printer. This sequence is ESC ESC ; or hexadecimal 1B 1B 3B. This sequence may be included at the beginning of the text file.

After this is done, the printer will reset, beep the bell to alert the operator, and display the message "Waiting For Remote Setup". The remote setup file may now be sent to the printer.

After the printer receives the remote setup file (without error), all specified configuration changes will be made, the printer will reset. When this reset is complete, the printer will be ready for normal interaction with the host system. Errors in the setup file are handled as Fatal errors. Test the setup file before sending it to a remote printer.

The available heading lines, and item setup lines, are documented below. Note that all the legal values are shown for each item, but in use only one value may be supplied in the setup file. An example file follows these definitions.

*Note that the 3-byte escape sequence can be included as the first 3 bytes in the remote setup file.
