Installing The Qcmc; Saving The Printer's Configuration To The Qcmc - Printronix t8000 Administrator's Manual

Installing the QCMC

CAUTION
You must power off the printer before you install or remove the QCMC, or you
may damage the QCMC and the printer. If you remove the QCMC after powering
on the printer with the QCMC installed, the fault message "SD REMOVED
Reboot Printer" will display. You cannot clear this message by reinserting the
QCMC. You must cycle power.
1. Set the printer power switch to O (Off).
2. Insert the QCMC SD card into the QCMC slot on the back of the printer.

Saving the Printer's Configuration to the QCMC

NOTE:
The MAC address residing on the QCMC will be used in place of the MAC assigned to the
printer's own network card whenever the QCMC is installed. If you do not want to identify the
printer with this MAC address, make sure the QCMC is removed from the printer before
attaching the printer to the network.
When the printer software detects the presence of a QCMC at power-up, a check of the QCMC will be
performed to determine if there is already a saved flash image available. If no printer flash image exists on
the QCMC, the software will then check to see if there are any saved configurations in the printer. If the
QCMC is blank (no flash image) and saved configurations are detected in the printer, then the user will be
prompted with a message on the front panel to save the printer's configuration to the QCMC as shown
below.
