Auto Save Configuration
Auto Save Functionality
The Auto Save Configuration function is triggered when the operator has
made a change to a menu that is normally saved as part of a printer
configuration and attempts to go online without saving these changes to a
configuration.
NOTE: Menus that are automatically saved as part of the Printer Settings,
such as the Network Addresses, will not trigger the Auto Save
Configuration function.
The Auto Save Configuration function works with the active configuration. The
active configuration is the configuration that was last loaded or saved. When a
configuration is loaded, either as the Power-Up default, by the emulation’s
response to a host command, or by the operator from the front panel, that
configuration is the active configuration. If the operator saves a configuration
from the front panel, that configuration becomes the active configuration.
The Auto Save Configuration function will sometimes need to find an open
configuration. An open configuration is a configuration that has not yet been
used to save a configuration. The Auto Save Configuration function will start
with Configuration #1 and check each configuration to see if a configuration
has been saved in that configuration number. The first empty configuration
found is used as the open configuration.
The Auto Save Configuration cannot save a configuration to the Factory
Configuration. If the active configuration is the Factory Configuration then the
Auto Save Configuration function must find an open configuration into which
to save the active configuration.
To disable the Auto Save Configuration, set Auto Save (in the Configuration
menu) to Disable. The Auto Save menu displays only if Admin User is set to
Enable in the Printer Setup menu.
