Configuration Overview; Basic Configuration Control - Printronix T2N series User Manual

Printer Usage
The Printer Usage value is in inches only and cannot be reset. If a new controller is installed, this
figure will reset to the value on the new controller.

Configuration Overview

You can configure printer setup through the Configuration Utility or the webpage (when network is
used). The T2N printer contains two configurations:

Factory Configuration

User Configuration.
Factory Configuration parameters cannot be changed. User Configuration values can be
uploaded and downloaded as necessary by clicking the "Read" and "Set" buttons, respectively.
The "Save File" and "Load File" buttons allow you to save and load configurations as files stored
on your computer. This provides easy configuration transfers between printers.
Note: Windows driver jobs or host commands from PGL, ZGL, or EGL emulations may affect
User Configuration. These emulations have commands to help the user set up the printer.
Configurations are stored in FLASH memory every time the printer is reset or powered off.

Basic Configuration Control

Read: Uploading the T2N Configuration
The "Read" button loads the entire set of configuration values from the printer to the Configuration
Utility. This process overwrites all values within the various fields of the Printer Configuration tabs
(e.g., Media/Sensor, Interface, PGL, ZGL, and EGL) and Advanced Setup.
The "Read" operation is important to perform in the following situations:

After completing the Tool Interface setup to confirm proper communication.

After performing a "Set" operation to confirm that the input values were accepted.
