Extended System-Level Command Functions
Class Series Programmer’s Manual 42
STX Kc Configuration Set
This command specifies the Power-up Configuration parameter values for the printer and is
equivalent to using other system commands followed by the <SOH>U. This command is intended
for easily configuring a custom setup, but NOT for dynamic configuration changes.
Configuration commands are examined for differences relative to the current configuration; the
command has no impact when there are no differences. Display-equipped models will reset upon
completion of a command stream containing parameter value changes; non-display models perform
this reset only for certain functions, such as memory allocation. In any case, no commands should be
sent to the printer until this reset is complete. These are some highlights of the command:

These parameter values are equivalent to changing the respective menu settings and do not affect
the factory default settings of the printer.

If separated by a semi-colon (;), multiple parameter values may be sent in a single command
stream; see sample below.

All values are stored in Flash memory and remain in effect until new values are received or until
factory defaults are restored.

If system commands are sent that override the Power-up Configuration value(s), the Power-up
Configuration value(s) will be restored the next time the printer is powered ‘On’ or reset.

These parameters are the same as those found in the Setup Menu (non-display models), or as
those found in the Menu System (display-equipped models). The respective functions are
documented in the appropriate Operator’s or Maintenance Manual. Not all commands are
effective on all Class printers.
 Note: Illegal or out of range parameter values may have unpredictable results. In addition, Media sensing
scaling values, TOF Bias, etc. may not be effective on other printers of the same type due to
hardware tolerances.

The sample sets the Present Adjust to 120 dots, the Continuous Label Length to 6 inches, and the
Sensor Type to Continuous.
The following table (constructed alphabetically by parameter name) summarizes the different
Configuration Set command parameters, value ranges, valid printer models, and menu item and
command equivalents (where applicable). If no command equivalent is given, or where general
clarification is necessary for the command, descriptions (listed alphabetically by parameter
pneumonic) immediately follow this table.
