Summary of the CONFIG Command
The UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD command can be used for uploading and
downloading complete printer configurations. If a customer needs to configure
50 printers identically, the customer needs only configure one printer and
UPLOAD the configurations. The UPLOADed configurations may then be
DOWNLOADed to other printers eliminating the necessity for the operator to
configure each printer manually.
The UPLOAD command will always place a header and a footer into the
uploaded data. This header will be the DOWNLOAD command followed by
the configuration number. The footer will be the DOWNLOAD END command.
The operator should be aware that the UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD
commands use a secondary copy of the menu structure which does not affect
the printer's active configuration. This allows the UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD
commands to operate without affecting the printer's current configuration. If
the operator intends to use one of the DOWNLOADed configurations, the
operator should reboot the printer to ensure proper operation. This can be
accomplished by adding the RESET command as the last command in your
FILE_IO
(DISK_IO) RUNFILE File;Prop The RUNFILE command will open
the file named
File for printing. After
the PTX_END command is
processed, the contents of
File will
get printed before any more data is
read from the host. If the
Prop field
is present, RUNFILE will verify that
Prop matches the saved file
properties. Any mismatch will cause
the command to be ignored.
UPLOAD File;Port Reads the file named File out of the
flash file system and sends it to a
host computer via the
Port I/O port.
Port is either 1284 (for reverse
nibble or byte mode transfer using
the parallel port), or SERIAL.
NOTE: if the Ethernet option is
installed, 1284 is used to upload
across the network.
MAXSIZE Kb For backwards compatibility.
MINSIZE Kb For backwards compatibility.
OPTIMIZE (none) Causes the printer to optimize the
Flash File System. The printer
automatically reboots during this
process.
PTX_END (none) (none) Exits the PTX_SETUP.
