Chapter 3 Configuration Editor
Enhanced Method
Using the migration utility in the Configuration Editor, all these things can be
done without having to download the configurations to the printer until you
know they are correct. No migrated settings will be downloaded to your printer
until you download them. This way you can run the migration, view the results,
view the report, and make any necessary changes without affecting your
saved configurations or the configurations in the printer.
How To Use The Migration Utility
STEP 1:
Load the configurations settings that need to be migrated into the
Configuration Editor before using the migration utility.
Migration Limitations
Only attempt to migrate saved configuration settings from printers of the same
model type and the same emulations. An example of a different printer model
type is a thermal printer configuration to a line matrix printer.
The printer that you are going to migrate the settings to should be a superset
of or contain the same emulations as the saved configurations. For example,
migrate saved settings that contain an ANSI emulation on a line matrix printer
to another line matrix printer that contains ANSI and PGL. Do not migrate
these same saved settings to a line matrix printer that does not contain ANSI.
The migration utility does not prevent you from doing this, but the results
would be useless and could cause problems if the migrated configurations
were downloaded and then loaded on a different printer type.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the printer model type and emulations of the saved
configurations match the printer model type and emulations of the
printer you want to migrate the settings to before attempting to migrate
the saved settings.
Loading Configuration Settings
The configuration settings to migrate can be opened using the Configuration
Editor in the following ways:
Loading From a File
Click the (open configuration file) button or select File

your configuration file and then click OK.
