The standard printer leaves the factory with EFIGS loaded into Module Y. At this point, Module
•
Y is LOCKED and will only accept additional language downloads.
After downloading a language update, Module Y is left UNLOCKED until the printer is reset or
•
power is cycled. In this state, Module Y will accept font, image and label format downloads.
The module will also honor the Clear Module request. Therefore, following an update it is
recommended that a reset be performed to lock the module; otherwise, a software package
may "Clear All Modules" thus destroying the new menu language(s).
Module Y can be UNLOCKED by sending this DPL string:
•
To restore the factory generated EFIGS image, download the file *832296.01A to the printer.
•
This file is located on the Datamax-O'Neil FTP site. The letter at the end of the file name (e.g.,
A) specifies the revision. The latest revision will be available on the FTP site.
Downloading the same language twice will automatically delete the first occurrence, but will
•
not free the memory space.
Deletion of the selected language will reset the printer to English. The total number of
•
languages that the printer can now accept is limited to 10, but this number is dependent upon
the size of each language translation. The translation size will vary with the number of
messages that are translated for that particular language. Current complete language files are
about 7,000 bytes each; but with product growth, the total number of languages is expected
to drop to five.
