4.12: UTILITY / FILE / SELBOOT

The “SelBoot” parameter specifies the boot file to be used the next time the 

D-40

 printer is

either re-started or reset.  The file selection is made from a list of choices displayed on the
LCD.  (Refer to Figure 4 -20.)  If the user has not chosen a boot file, then the 

D-40

 will prompt

the operator to chose a file that the unit will boot from every time it powers up.
