3-20 Configuring the Printer
Rev AA
The CLARiTY Configuration Manager (Figure 3-18) is a PC software
program, that provides the following basic features:
• Setting all the printer variables
• Saving/retrieving a set of variable values to a PC file for later/
repeated use
• Downloading a set of variables to the printer's CLARiTY controller for
non-volatile (permanent) memory storage in the printer
• Uploading a set of variables from the printer for review/comparison/
modification
• Updating the system software
• Saving/retrieving language files
• Saving/retrieving job, font, and graphics files
• Configuring master/slave functionality
• Snapshot of CLARiTY screens
As a result, the CLARiTY Controller only retains the availability of a small
number of operating variables for the user to change. Apart from making
the CLARiTY control system more simple and user-friendly, it also
provides an increased level of printer system integrity, because the
configuration variables cannot be accessed from the printer itself, but only
from a connected PC.
If the printer is installed to run in a standalone mode (i.e., the printer is not
networked), the PC is only linked briefly (via the RS232 serial or ethernet
port) for the period of upload/download of the variables (a few seconds).
The PC would then be removed.
In a networked environment, system administrators could have direct
