Saving a Configuration File
Using the Configuration File feature, the printer can save and restore complete printer settings, including
media calibration parameters. Here are the feature’s highlights and restrictions:
• Configuration files eliminate the need to repeat the manual steps of a special printer setup, making
future changeovers faster and easier.
• Configuration files can be setup, saved, and restored either from the host or via the User Interface as
‘C-type’ files on Module Y under unique filenames that can be up to nineteen characters in length.
• Configuration files enable the host, via special DPL commands, to control parameters previously
accessible only from the User Interface (consult the Class Series Programmer’s Manual for details).
• Regular host settings cannot be saved using the User Interface menu.
 Note: Configuration files will typically correspond to a particular printer and media application. If a file will be
shared among printers, do NOT include unique parameters (such as calibrations and adjustments)
because those settings will vary from one unit to another.
When saving a configuration file via the User Interface (see Section 4.2.5), the keypad functions within
the ‘Save Setting As’ submenu are as follows:
Key Label Key and Function
The DOWN ARROW Key scrolls down through the alphanumeric, underscore, and
delete character.
The UP ARROW Key scrolls up through the alphanumeric and underscore
characters, and the delete function.
ENTER
The ENTER Key accepts the displayed character and advances the cursor.
ESC
Saves the displayed file.
