Chapter 4 Config. Control Menu

Save Config.

This option allows you to save up to eight unique configurations to meet different print job requirements, which eliminates the need to change the parameter settings for each new job.

The configurations are stored in memory. They will not be lost if you turn off the printer. Configuration 0 is a factory-preset configuration, which cannot be changed or saved. See page 56 for a detailed description and sample procedure.

Note

If the Protect Configs. parameter is enabled, the new configuration will not

 

be saved unless the existing configuration has been deleted.

Print Config.

Allows you to print a listing of stored printer configurations. It is recommended you store the configurations in a safe place for quick referral, such as inside the printer, if you have a cabinet model. See page 58 for a detailed description and sample procedure.

Delete Config.

Allows you to delete one or all of your eight customized configurations. Configuration 0 is a factory-preset configuration and cannot be changed or deleted.

Power-Up Config.

Allows you to specify which of the nine configurations (0-8) will be the power- up configuration. The factory default for power-up is configuration 0. See page 62 for a detailed description and sample procedure.

Protect Configs.

Allows you to specify whether or not a new configuration should overwrite an existing configuration when you activate the Save Config. parameter.

Disable. The default. The new configuration will overwrite the existing configuration.

Enable. The new configuration will not overwrite the existing configuration, and the message “CONFIG. EXISTS / Delete First” displays. You must delete the existing configuration (1-8) before trying to save the new configuration.
