Introduction
The settings can be downloaded as special commands from your
IBM system or from a PC to the Centronics or RS 232 (in case of
serial connector) input port. The converter uses these commands for
its own internal setup.
Initially, the settings can be downloaded to the temporary memory
area (see Chapter 3. Manipulation of Temporary and Permanent
Memory Areas) of the converter, where they take immediate ef fect.
The settings in the RAM area may be saved permanently in the
permanent memory area, if specified by a special command. The
permanent memory area is read each time power is turned on to the
converter or when you give a special command.
