Commands

Setup

Purpose

Automatically executes and loads IGP/PGL commands such as forms,

logos, customized print environments, etc., from external memory to the

printer whenever printer power is applied or when the RESET command

(page 4–85) is sent.

Mode

NORMAL

Format

(cc)SETUP

HOST DATA

(cc)SETUPEND

(cc)

The Special Function Control Character.

SETUP

The Setup command; enter SETUP.

HOST DATA

Any IGP/PGL commands, form definitions, text, etc.

to be stored and executed at power–up.

SETUPEND

Finishes storing host data and returns the printer to the

NORMAL mode. Enter SETUPEND.

Comments

Because the RESET command causes the setup routine to be executed, the

RESET command can not be in the SETUP information or else an infinite

loop will occur.

If IGP/PGL commands have not been added between the SETUP and

SETUPEND commands, the SETUP.PTX file in the IGP/PGL external

memory module is automatically deleted, and no IGP/PGL SETUP

commands are executed upon printer power–up.

NOTE: The SETUP.PTX is automatically created by the IGP/PGL when the

~SETUPEND command is received. When the SETUP.PTX file is

not in external memory, no extra IGP/PGL commands are

performed on power up.
