Formatting a storage device will also remove any setup files that are on the drive. Setup files can be stored
on a computer and copied back to the root of a PIX 270i drive to be loaded on the PIX 270i.
Custom Defaults and Setup Menu Option Visibility
The Setup Menu option [Quick Setup - Load Factory Settings] loads a setup that is saved internally
to the PIX when it leaves the factory. It is possible to alter this “factory” setup, so that the Setup
Menu option [Quick Setup - Load Factory Settings] will load a custom default.
It is also possible to hide specific Setup Menu parameters and options. This is useful for Setup Menu
options that are not commonly used in a particular workflow, or to simplify use when lending the
unit to another user.
To customize defaults and Setup Menu option visibility:
1. Attach a USB keyboard to the PIX 270i’s USB keyboard port.
2. Press MENU to enter the Setup Menu.
3. Press Ctrl + Alt + F10 on the keyboard. If this is the first time this action has been performed
since powering the PIX 270i up, a password dialog will appear. Enter the password (the de-
fault password is “default”).
4. After the correct password has been entered, the Settings Customization Menu will appear.
Select Edit Menu & Default Values.
5. The Setup Menu will be shown with a colored background. There will be check boxes next to
each menu item. Navigate the menu with the Control Knob or keyboard arrows, as usual.
6. To change the visibility of an item in the Setup Menu, press the spacebar on the keyboard
while the item is highlighted. Checked items will be displayed in the Setup Menu and un-
checked items will not be displayed.
Crossed out items will be hidden
7. Settings changed at this point will become the default settings.
