Appendix E
Menu System Multi-Language Support
This printer provides the user with the ability to download new menu system
languages and/or replace the provided translations. A Microsoft

Excel
Spreadsheet defines the menu dictionary – the user adds a new language column
or modifies an existing column in the spreadsheet, clicks on the ‘Generate DPL
file(s)’ radio button and sends the generated DPL file(s) to the printer.
Here are the highlights and restrictions of the feature:
• The printer can register up to 10 different display languages, including
EFIGS.
• The EFIGS languages and any additional languages are stored on Module
Y: a 64KB Flash Module located on the Main PCB.
• It is okay to download menu files generated for a lesser firmware revision to
new firmware – any messages that are not defined are displayed in English.
• For the procedures below, the printer will accept the menu downloads from
any available port.
• The language creation programs support Windows 
95, Windows

98,
Windows

NT, and Windows

2000.
