Recall Custom Set
The printer can store 8 custom sets in NVRAM. This parameter allows you to
select and load a specific custom set.
•
Factory Default (the default). The factory–preset custom set; its
parameters cannot be changed. It is always available for loading.
Custom/Preloaded Sets 5-8 contain configuration sets that assist with the
installation and configuration of this printer. These sets are preloaded at the
factory. If these sets are not used, you can delete them and create new
custom sets.
Following is a brief description of Custom/Preloaded Sets 5 – 8:
• Custom/Preloaded Set 5
is used when configuring this printer to
function like a Printronix printer. This custom set contains ASCII
emulations used by Printronix compatible printers along with initial
defaults (Overstrike, Auto LF, etc.). The initial ASCII default emulation is
P-Series which may need to be altered for P-Series XQ or Serial Matrix in
some applications. This option is defined only in CT or CT/IPDS builds.
For more information, refer to the Configuration Utility Diskette shipped
with this printer, or the 6400 ASCII Programmer’s Reference Manual.
•
Custom/Preloaded Set 6
contains the default settings for an ASCII
printer using a set of Epson and Proprinter default values. This could be
useful when the printer has the Coax/Twinax feature, but is sometimes
run as an ASCII printer. This option is defined only in IGP, CT and
CT/IPDS builds. Refer to the 6400 Coax/Twinax Programmer‘s Reference
Manual for more information.
• Custom/Preloaded Set 7
contains default settings for a Twinax printer
without IPDS. This could be useful when the printer contains the IPDS
feature, but must occasionally be used as a non-IPDS printer. This option
is defined only in CT/IPDS builds. Refer to the 6400 IPDS Programmer’s
Reference Manual or the 6400 Coax/Twinax Programmer’s Reference
Manual for more information.
•
Custom/Preloaded Set 8
sets up the printer for an external CT
Interpreter box. This option is defined only for Non-CT IGP and ASCII
builds.
Save Current Values
This option allows you to save your custom sets to meet different print job
requirements. This eliminates the need to change the parameter settings for
each new job.
The custom sets are stored in NVRAM—they will not be lost if you power off
the printer.
Factory default is a factory–preset custom set; it cannot be changed or saved.
