This option has two purposes:

Allows the validator to upload an optimized setting for a particular printer size at power up. This will use the full scanner beam width and improve the performance and efficiency of the validator.

Allows you to customize a special scanner setting for a specific application. The feature file can then be downloaded to the printer by using normal printer download procedures and must be saved as part of the power up configuration.
