SETUP
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
Field of Application Statement for entering the printer's Setup Mode, changing the setup by
means of a setup file or setup string, or creating a setup file containing
the printer's current setup values.
Syntax SETUP [[WRITE] | [] | []]
is the desired name of a new file containing a copy of the
printer's current setup.
is the name of an existing setup file that will be used to change
the printer's current setup.
is a string used to change a parameter in the printer's current
setup.
Remarks The SETUP statement can be used in four ways:
SETUP makes the printer enter the Setup Mode.
SETUP WRITE is used to automatically create a setup file
with the assigned name containing a copy
of the printer's current setup.
SETUP is used to change the printer's setup
according to a setup file with a special
syntax as described below.
SETUP is used to change a parameter in the printer's
current setup using a special syntax
described below.
SETUP
Never use the SETUP statement (without any appending string expression)
in a printer without keyboard, since once you have entered the Setup Mode
there is no way of using or leaving the Setup Mode when the keyboard is
missing.
SETUP WRITE
The SETUP WRITE statement is useful when you want to return to the
printer's current setup at a later moment. You can make a copy of the current
setup using SETUP WRITE, change the setup using a SETUP
statement, and – when so required – return to the original
setup by issuing a new SETUP statement containing the name
of the file created by the SETUP WRITE statement.
It is strongly recommended to create the file in the printer's temporary
memory ("tmp:"), e.g. SETUP WRITE "tmp:OLDSETUP". Once it has
been created in "tmp:", it can be copied to the printer's permanent memory
"c:" so it will not be lost at power off.
Another application of SETUP WRITE is returning the printer's current setup
on a serial communication channel, e.g. SETUP WRITE "uart1:".
