CONFIGURATION COMMANDS
The configuration commands specify the Power-up Configuration parameter values
for the printer and is equivalent to using other system commands followed by the
<SOH>U. These commands are intended for easily configuring a custom setup, but
NOT for dynamic configuration changes. Configuration commands are examined for
differences relative to the current configuration, and have no impact when no
differences exist.
These commands are implemented as parameters of the STX Kc Configuration Set
extended system level command. Fore more information, see STX Kc Configuration
Set.
Printers will reset upon completion of a command stream containing parameter value
changes. In any case, no commands should be sent to the printer until this reset is
complete. Other command highlights include the following:
l
These parameter values are equivalent to changing the respective menu settings
and do not affect the factory default settings of the printer.
l
If separated by a semi-colon (;), multiple parameter values may be sent in a single
command stream; see sample below.
l
All values are stored in Flash memory and remain in effect until new values are
received or until factory defaults are restored.
l
If system commands are sent that override the Power-up Configuration value(s), the
Power-up Configuration value(s) will be restored the next time the printer is
powered "On" or is reset.
l
These parameters are the same as those found in the Menu System (display
equipped models). The respective functions are documented in the appropriate
Operator's Manual. Not all commands are effective on all printers.
Note: Illegal or out of range parameter values may have unpredictable results. In addition,
media sensing scaling values, TOF Bias, etc. may not be effective on other same-type
printers due to hardware tolerances.
