Using Online Configuration Packets
Use online configuration packets to change the printer settings.
You must send the online configuration packets one at a time,
supplying all parameters for each packet. Leave the parameters
blank that you do not need to change. For example,
{ I
,A,,,,1 p } prints a slashed zero and uses the last sent online
System Setup parameters.
Make a copy of the online configuration worksheet in Appendix D,
"Format Design Tools," and save the original. Packets A - F are
listed on the worksheet.
When you turn off the printer, all the information in the online
configuration packets is saved and used when the printer is
turned back on. After you change printer configurations, you
must resend the format, batch, or graphic to the printer before the
changes take effect.
Always include an I
, immediately after the left bracket { and
before the packet identifier (A, B, C, etc.). The I
parameter
identifies the data stream as a configuration packet.
Include the
I
parameter with each packet if
you are sending them individually. Include it
only at the beginning of a data stream if you
are sending multiple packets.
This is the syntax to use when you create online configuration
packets:
