4.3 Setup Software (does not apply
to versions after February 1996)
Older versions of the A/C-7 RO
included a setup disk. For newer
versions (after February 1996), all
configuration parameters not
already covered through
configuration switches can be
changed through the host/PC
download commands.
NOTE
For a description of the
available configuration
parameters, refer to the
Table 4-11, Host/PC
Download Commands.
4.4 Host/PC Download Commands
By sending download commands
from the Host/PC to the A/C-7 RO,
you can change all configuration
parameters not already covered
through the configuration switches.
Most Host/PC download
commands are placed in a Host/PC
document or on the screen.
Regardless of whether the incoming
print job is a screen print, a
spreadsheet, or a word-processing
document created on either the host
or PC, the A/C-7 RO will recognize
the Host/PC download command.
The command itself will not be
printed if it was entered correctly. If
any part of the command is printed,
the A/C-7 RO did not recognize the
command because of a problem in
the format. Check the syntax of the
command and send the command
again.
Most Host/PC download
commands sent to the A/C-7 RO
take effect immediately and stay only
in the A/C-7 RO’s active memory.
To save the changed configuration
beyond a power off, send Host/PC
download command Z99,0.
Tip: Save the Host/PC download
commands in a separate file. If you
need to re-configure the A/C-7 RO
at a later time, or if you need to
configure more than one A/C-7 RO,
just “print” the file containing your
Host/PC download commands.
Take the following steps to enter a
host download command.
