A configuration must be saved in order to load it later. You can save up to eight configurations to meet different print job requirements. For example:

Config 1: Selects Standard density, 10 CPI, 6 LPI, 11-inch forms

Config 2: Selects Sparse density, 10 CPI, 8 LPI, 8-inch forms

The configurations are saved and stored in memory; they will not be lost if you power off the printer. Later, you can load one of the configurations for a specific print job. This eliminates the need to change settings (LPI, forms length, etc.) for each new job. See page 60 for information about loading configurations. You may want to print your configurations (page 58) and store them in a safe place, such as inside the printer cabinet.

If you are going to change and save parameters for both the PCL-II and LinePrinter Plus emulations, remember to save the changes for the PCL-II emulation before you select LP Plus as the active emulation (page 79) or vice versa. Once you change active emulations, any changes to the previously selected emulation will be erased unless they have been saved.

If you do not save your configuration before you turn off the printer, all of the new parameters will be erased. When you turn the printer on again, the power-up configuration will load. If no configurations have been designated as the power-up configuration, the factory configuration will load.

If the Protect Configs. parameter is enabled, the new configuration will not be saved unless the existing configuration has been deleted. See page 66 for details.
