Using Remote Setup
The FormsMaster 8000 Series printers may be completely configured for
operation by using the front panel buttons to access the printer setup menus.
In addition, many of the items that can be configured via the front panel
setup menus can also be configured remotely as described in this chapter.
Remote setup commands are placed in a remote setup file on a host
computer. This file may then be sent to the printer. The remote setup file
bust be a text only file with each line terminated by a Line Feed (LF)
character.
The available commands listed below are shown with a combination of
upper and lower case letters to enhance readability. However, the
commands are not case sensitive. All characters are converted to upper case
before processing (except for form names, which are contained in double
quotes). White space may also be inserted to enhance readability; it will be
stripped from the commands before processing.
Each line of the file is processed individually, and must conform to one of
four possible formats:
1. A blank line (ignored).
2. A comment line, which begins with a semicolon ";" (ignored).
3. A heading line, which is enclosed in square brackets "[]".
4. An item setup line, of the format item=value.
Each item setup line must appear under the appropriate heading line. The
first heading line in the file must be [BeginPrintekSetup]. The last
heading line in the file must be [EndPrintekSetup]. All other
heading lines and item setup lines are optional.
If any errors exist in the remote setup file, no changes will be made to the
printer configuration. When possible, the printer will indicate the line
number in the file where the first error occurred. Counting of lines begins
with 1 at the [BeginPrintekSetup] heading line. Any lines
preceding this will not be processed, and will not be counted.
