Saving a Configuration File

Configuration Files can be used to retain special printer settings, eliminating the need for
repeated setups. Unique filenames can be assigned then the setups restored, as needed, via
the host or printer menu. The following example saves a calibration setting in a
configuration file:
If file sharing among printers, DO NOT include unique parameters (such as
calibrations and adjustments) when saving.
Step
With the printer set for the configuration to be saved,
1 press the MENU Key. (See Section 4.1 for Control Panel
details.)
2 Scroll to SYSTEM SETTINGS then press the ENTER Key.
With CONFIGURATION FILE highlighted, press the
3
ENTER Key.
Scroll to SAVE SETTING AS then press the ENTER Key
and input a name, using up to nineteen alphanumeric
4
characters, for the Configuration File. (This example
uses the filename MEDIACAL.)
Press the ESC Key repeatedly to save the file and return
5
to READY.
To restore a configuration file via the printer, see Section 4.2.4.
