sETUP MODE

Enter record header

The header of the printed record is made up of seven 

lines, each with 32 characters and can be used to 

show the company name and address. These lines 

are still empty when the device is delivered to the 

customer by the manufacturer. 

The customer can configure the record header easily 

as follows:

A text only file with the name “KOPF.TXT” (HEADER.

TXT) is created at the PC using the WINDOWS text 

editor. It must be ensured that this file contains only 

7 lines, each with 32 characters. Any additional cha-

racters and lines are ignored. This file is copied onto 

a USB stick. The USB stick does not have to be empty, 

i.e. it can contain other data. However, it must not 

have a storage volume larger than 4 GB, to prevent 

complications with the software. The “KOPF.TXT” file 

should be in the root directory.

The “Enter Record Header” menu item is opened at 

the airLPT216. The user is then prompted to plug the 

USB stick into the USB port 

(6)

 at the top of the de-

vice.

The file is transferred and the record header is per-

manently saved in the device. If the process is com-

pleted successfully, which only takes a few seconds, 

the user is informed. 

Otherwise an error message appears (e.g. if the KOPF.

TXT files was not found on the USB stick).
