1 To configure the 5900 and 7900 printers for either message selection or remote field
selection, select the Mode option to display the Mode page. The options are as
follows:
• Message Selection—the printer uses the incoming data to select a message. For
example if the incoming data is ‘ABC’, the printer selects a message with the
name ‘ABC’. If there is no message name that matches the incoming data in the
Message Store, the data is ignored.
• Remote Fields—the printer uses the incoming data to set the remote fields. The
incoming data is allocated to remote fields according to the field name and the
number of characters in that field. Refer to How to Create a Remote Field for more
information on how to use remote fields.
2 Highlight either ‘Message Selection’ or ‘Remote Fields’, then press the OK key to
return to the QuickSwitch Setup page.
The default is ‘Message Selection’ and the Remote Fields option on the
QuickSwitch Setup page is not available. If ‘Remote Fields’ is selected the Remote
Fields option is available.
If ‘Message Selection’ is selected go to page 12 where the Setup option is described.
