Set/Save/Load Configuration Values
Configuration values can be stored for temporary use or saved for more permanent use as the
power-up default configuration. In addition, current power-up default values can be loaded
(restored) for use as needed.
Set Values
Any configuration value can be changed as needed to meet application requirements. In order
to change a configuration parameter, the printer configuration must be unlocked. Select the
new value of the configuration parameter and press the RUN/STOP TEST switch. An asterisk
(*) will appear to the right of the value to indicate its selection.
NOTE: This type of change is only temporary. To permanently change a configuration
parameter, refer to the Save Values section of this chapter.
For example, to temporarily change the forms length parameter to 14.0 inches, unlock the
printer configuration and select and display a forms length value of 14.0 inches. Press the RUN/
STOP TEST switch to enter the value. 14.0 inches will now be used as the forms length parame
ter.
Values stored in this way are replaced by the power-up default (saved) values when the printer
power is turned off and on. If a particular value is only required for a short term, limited appli
cation, it can be stored temporarily. If the value is required for more permanent repeated use,
it should be saved as a power-up default.
Saved Values
Saved configuration values are the power-up default values. These are the parameters effec
tive when the power is turned on. Until another value set is saved, the Printronix default con
figuration values are effective at the initial power-up after receiving the printer from the
factory. The following general procedure can be used to save configuration values. Refer to the
Control Panel Switch Function Diagram for an illustration of the control panel switches re
quired to select and display the parameter menus and values.
1.
Unlock the printer configuration by simultaneously pressing the RUN/STOP TEST and
CONFIG MENU switches.
2.
Select the value(s) required as the power-up defaults using the RUN/STOP TEST switch
to enter the change(s).
NOTE: Changing the Printer Compatibility under the Application Compatibility menu
affects other parameter value choices, automatically disabling some values and resetting
others. It also sets the current paper position as the top of form. Consequently, if the
Printer Compatibility configuration parameter is changed, it must be changed before
changing any other parameter values. Values changed prior to changing the Printer Com
patibility value may be cancelled and not saved with the value set.
3.
Select and display SAVE PARAMETERS.
