Position:
1 Clear Text Function: If enabled, all variable text strings will be erased when a
^D2? is processed.
2 >RESTARTED< Message: If the printer has been reset and this switch has
been enabled, the printer will respond with to the first status request by sending
the >RESTARTED< message. If additional enquiries are made the printer will
respond normally. The >RESTARTED< message is only sent once after reset.
3 Line Feed Button: If disabled, the line feed button will not feed paper when
pressed. The button can still be used for “Top of Form” if the TOF button
function is enabled in soft switch bank #3 (^D23).
4 Print Button: If this is 0, the button can be used for paper feed, but cannot be
used to initiate label printing.
5 Power-up Format Type: Defines the power-up label format. This parameter
determines whether to use a saved format file for the power-up label, or a ROM
format (defined by positions 6, 7, and 8). The saved format file must be battery
backed to use the saved format file feature. See Appendix B for configuration
instructions and section 5.3.7 for saved format file information. Please consult
your service organization if changes or additions to the fixed ROM formats are
required.
6,7,8 Power-up Label Format: These switches are used in conjunction with switch 5
above. They determine which stored format is loaded at power-up. The printer
can be instructed not to load a format at power-up by setting all three switches
to 0. (Please note: The printer will not print unless a valid format has been
loaded. A format may be loaded by using these switches to automatically load a
previously stored format or by simply sending non-stored format to the printer.)
