The CLARiTY™ Configuration Manager is a user-friendly PC software program, which
provides the following basic features:-
• Complete set of printer variables
• Save/Retrieve a set of variable values to a PC file for later/repeat use
• Download set of variable parameters to the printer’s CLARiTY™ control system for
non-volatile (permanent) memory storage in the printer
• Upload set of variable parameters from the printer, for review/compare/modification
As a result, the ICE Torus printer only retains a small number of ‘Operating Variables’ for the
user to change.
In addition to making the CLARiTY™ Operating system less complicated and more user
friendly, an increased level of printer system security is also added, as ‘Configuration
Variables’ can only be accessed from a connected PC.
If a ICE Torus printer operates in “stand alone” mode (i.e. not networked), the PC would be
linked (via the RS232 serial port) for the period of uploading and downloading of the
Configuration Variables only. The PC would then be removed.
In a networked environment, System Administrators have the ability to directly access the
printer, whilst Line Operators remain limited to access to Operating Variables on the
CLARiTY™ Operating system only.

Manager parameters.
