    Configuration Menus Configuration Overview To print data, the printer must respond correctly to signals and commands received from the host computer. Configuration is the process of matching the printer's operating characteristics to those of the host computer and to specific tasks, such as printing labels or printing on different sizes of paper. The characteristics which define the printer's response to signals and commands received from the host computer are called configuration parameters.

  • Page 177: E Ptx_Setup Option

    PTX_SETUP Option Overview The PTX_SETUP commands are a superset of commands which allow the printer to perform several tasks by parsing commands either stored in flash or sent to the printer by the host. Commands range from printer configuration operations to file system operations. This appendix describes the PTX_SETUP commands.

  • Page 178: Commands

    Appendix E The PTX_SETUP Commands Commands This section provides a general description of how commands are formed. Each emulation has modes in which the PTX_SETUP commands could get missed. For this reason, it is highly recommended that all PTX_SETUP commands be placed between print jobs, rather than attempting to imbed them within jobs.
  • Page 179 Commands Table 10. PTX_SETUP Commands (Non-Platform Specific) Command Sub-Command Parameter Description CONFIG LOAD Cfg can be 0-8. The PTX_SETUP will load configuration Cfg. If configuration Cfg was not previously saved, the operator panel will display an error message and the current configuration will be kept.
  • Page 180 Appendix E The PTX_SETUP Commands Table 10. PTX_SETUP Commands (Non-Platform Specific) (continued) Command Sub-Command Parameter Description CONFIG OVERLAY This command overlays the configuration data that follows on existing configuration Cfg. Cfg must be 1-8 (or END). If Cfg does not exist then command is treated the same as DOWNLOAD.
  • Page 181 Commands Table 10. PTX_SETUP Commands (Non-Platform Specific) (continued) Command Sub-Command Parameter Description CONFIG PANEL LOCK This command locks the operator out of the printer’s configuration menu. UNLOCK This command unlocks the printer’s configuration menu and allows the operator access to the menus. By default, the menu is unlocked.
  • Page 182 Appendix E The PTX_SETUP Commands Table 10. PTX_SETUP Commands (Non-Platform Specific) (continued) Command Sub-Command Parameter Description FILE_IO RUNFILE File;Prop The RUNFILE command will open (DISK_IO) the file named File for printing. After the PTX_END command is processed, the contents of File will get printed before any more data is read from the host.
  • Page 183 Commands Summary of the CONFIG Command The UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD command can be used for uploading and downloading complete printer configurations. If a customer needs to configure 50 printers identically, the customer needs only configure one printer and UPLOAD the configurations. The UPLOADed configurations may then be DOWNLOADed to other printers eliminating the necessity for the operator to configure each printer manually.
  • Page 184 Appendix E The PTX_SETUP Commands Three things can limit the ability to save a file: insufficient RAM, insufficient Flash, and lack of empty file system entries. Flash can only be written once before it needs to be “optimized”. As a result, the maximum file size is limited to the largest unwritten block of Flash.
