Videojet DataFlex 6530 Service Manual - Rev AA 4-7
Installation
The CLARiTY Configuration Manager (Figure 4-7) is a PC software program, that provides the
following basic features:
• Setting all the printer variables
• Saving/retrieving a set of variable values to a PC file for later/repeated use
• Downloading a set of variables for non-volatile (permanent) memory storage in the
printer
• Uploading a set of variables from the printer for review/comparison/modification
• Updating the system software
• Saving/retrieving language files
• Saving/retrieving job, font, and graphics files
• Configuring master/slave functionality
• Snapshot of CLARiTY screens
As a result, the CLARiTY HMI display only retains the availability of a small number of
operating variables for the user to change. Apart from making the CLARiTY control system
more simple and user-friendly, it also provides an increased level of printer system integrity,
because the configuration variables cannot be accessed from the printer itself, but only from a
connected PC.
If the printer is installed to run in a standalone mode (i.e., the printer is not networked), the PC is
only linked briefly (via the RS232 serial or ethernet port) for the period of upload/download of
the variables (a few seconds). The PC would then be removed.
In a networked environment, system administrators could have direct access to the printer,
while line operators are limited to accessing only the operating variables that are relevant to
them.
