Host Interface Menu - Printronix P8000 Series Administrator's Manual

Power-Up Config.
You can specify which of the nine configurations (Factory or 1-8) will be the power-up configuration.
Protect Configs.
You can specify whether or not a new configuration should overwrite an existing configuration when you
activate the Save Configs. parameter. When disabled (factory default), the new configuration will
overwrite the existing configuration. When enabled, the new configuration will not overwrite the existing
configuration, and the message "CONFIG. EXISTS / Delete First" displays.
Name Configs
This option allows you to rename any of the eight different configurations.
You may specify a 15-character name which can be used to refer to a configuration. The name you enter
for a configuration will be used in the Load Config., Save Config., Print Config., Delete Config., and
Power-Up Config. menus. The name can only be cleared by using the Reset Cfg Names menu. See
example 2 on page 52 on how to name configurations.
Reset Cfg Names
You can reset specific configuration names back to the default value of the configuration number.
Auto Save
•
Enable (factory default). When a change has been made to a Config. menu, this option automatically
prompts the user to save or not save the change to a Config #.
If you are currently in the Factory Config. menus and make a change, pressing ENTER saves to
Config 1 or the next available Config. and becomes the Power-Up Config. If the Current Config is
Config 1 and a menu change is made, pressing ENTER will save the change to Config 1.
•
Disable. The printer will not prompt you to save any changes made.
