3860/80 User’s Manual

Rename a Format
An alphanumeric name of up to 16 characters can be assigned to each of the four stored
formats and also to the active format. This can only be done from the host using ANSI escape
sequences. See the ANSI chapter of the
Programmer's Manual.
The stored format names are saved in nonvolatile RAM until changed by the user or reset by
ISU.
Note:
A user-defined name for the active format will be lost when a stored format is
called up.
Linking Emulations to Formats
When the printer is shipped, and again at ISU, none of the stored formats is linked to an
emulation. After ISU, the current emulation remains current when a stored format is enabled.
This is true whether the stored format is invoked by a paper-path change, by the control panel
Format key, or by ANSI CSU command. In other words, an ISU unlinks emulations and
formats.
Any supported emulation can be assigned (linked) to any of stored formats 1-4. The only way
that a linkage can be either assigned or modified is via the Printed Menu. A linkage thus
established is the
only
stored parameter that is immune from being over-written if the current
state of the printer is saved to the affected format. This is true whether the current state is
saved by the SAVE function on the LCD menu, or by ANSI CSS command.
