Protect Configs.

You can specify whether or not a new configuration should overwrite an existing

configuration when you activate the Save Configs. parameter. When disabled

(default), the new configuration will overwrite the existing configuration. When

enabled, the new configuration will

not

overwrite the existing configuration, and

the message “CONFIG. EXISTS / Delete First” displays.

Name Configs.

You can specify a 15 character name which can be used to refer to a

configuration. The name you enter for a configuration will be used in the Load

Config., Save Config., Print Config., Delete Config., and Power–Up Config.

menus. The configuration names are special and apply to the printer rather than

a particular configuration. They are not saved as any part of a configuration, but

stored separately in NVRAM. The names can only be cleared by using the Reset

Cfg Names menu.

When you move into the Name Config menu, the top line of the display shows

the current configuration name string of that configuration. The second line of the

display is initially the same as the top line. You can modify the second line of the

display without affecting the top line until the ENTER key is pressed, selecting

the modified name as the current selection.

If you press the NEXT or PREV (

A

or

"

)

keys, the cursor will move to the next

or previous character, wrapping to the first or last character. The cursor indicates

the character in the string that will be modified when you press the UP or DOWN

(

Y

or

B

)

keys. At this point, the UP and DOWN (

Y

or

B

)

keys cycle through

the values available for that character at the cursor location. To select another

character to modify, press the PREV or NEXT (

A

or

"

)

key. Press the ENTER

key at any time to save the configuration name string as shown on the front panel

and move out of this menu. You can press any key other than the ENTER key to

move up and out of this menu. The configuration name string will revert to the

last saved value.

Reset Cfg Name

You can reset specific configuration names back to the default value of the

configuration number.
