Optimize Barcode
Defines whether the barcode optimization feature is active.
• Yes (factory default). Activates the barcode optimization feature.
• No. Deactivates the barcode optimization feature.
• Test. Boxes will print around all barcodes that are detected and replaced. This provides a simple method to confirm that the software correctly detects and replaces all the barcodes on any given form.
Alignment
Defines how the optimized replacement barcode will be positioned with regard to the original barcode position if no obstacles exist to this placement. It defines the first attempted position of the replacement barcode. If the first attempted position causes a replacement barcode to interfere with any other form elements (text, graphics, or dots), the replacement barcode automatically adjusts away from these interfering elements until requested horizontal quiet zones are observed. Selections for this menu are as follows:
• Left. The first attempted position of the leftmost bar of the replacement barcode will be the same position as the leftmost bar of the original barcode. For instance, if the replacement barcode is smaller than the original barcode, it will be placed as follows:
If the replacement barcode is larger than the original barcode, the replacement barcode will begin at the left edge of the original barcode and expand beyond the right edge.
196
Any form elements (text, graphics, or dots) immediately to the right of the original barcode can force this first attempted placement to be modified. The replacement barcode will shift left to avoid obstacles on the right provided that there are also no obstacles on the left.
• Center (factory default). The first attempted position of the center bar of the replacement barcode will be the same position as the center bar of the original barcode.
If the replacement barcode is smaller than the original barcode, it will be replaced as follows:
If the replacement barcode is longer than the original barcode, it will still be centered, but it will extend beyond the end of the original barcode on both the left and the right.
197
If form elements interfere with this placement on the right or the left, the barcode will automatically adjust away from these obstacles. Form obstacles may force a center-aligned barcode to look left or right aligned. For instance, in the below picture, a center-aligned barcode has text 0.2 inches away from the right edge of the original barcode. With a horizontal quiet zone of 0.2 inches, the resulting replacement barcode position is exactly the same regardless of whether center, right, or left alignment is chosen.
Regardless of the first attempted position, the barcode will need to shift to the left until the horizontal quiet zone can be observed.
• Right. The first attempted position of the rightmost bar of the replacement barcode will be the same position as the rightmost bar of the original barcode.
For instance, if the replacement barcode is shorter than the original barcode it will be placed as follows:
198
If the replacement barcode is larger than the original barcode, the replacement barcode will end at the right edge of the original barcode and extend past the left edge. Any form elements (text, graphics, or dots) immediately to the left of the original barcode, however, can force this first attempted placement to be modified. The replacement barcode will shift right to avoid obstacles on the left provided that there are also no obstacles on the right.
Hor. Quiet Zone
This menu defines the quiet zones (empty areas) width before and after the start/stop codes regardless of picket fence or ladder orientation. When positioning the barcode, the quiet zone is taken into account when detecting collisions with other elements (dots) on the form. If one of the horizontal quiet zones is violated, the barcode will automatically shift to the left or right (for picket fence orientation) or up or down
(for ladder orientation) to remove the quiet zone violation.
The width of the area can be defined between 0 and 0.99 inches in 0.01 inch increments. The default is
0.20 inches. This feature ensures that the replacement barcodes will be properly scanned.
Barcodes are automatically adjusted away from text (or other obstacles on the form) until the Hor. Quiet Zone distance is met.
199
Ver. Erase Zone
This menu defines the area above and below the bars that will be erased, regardless of picket fence or ladder orientation. It is used when the barcode has extraneous data beyond the bars that need to be deleted as it is being replaced.
The height of the area can be defined between 0 and 0.99 inches in 0.01 inch increments. The default is
0 inches (no empty space). This feature can be used to remove special attributes remainders of the original barcode such as a guard bar or line that borders the top and bottom of the bars. It can also be
Quiet Zone Fault
This menu defines whether a fault must be reported on the front panel LCD if the BCDOPT feature cannot print the replacement barcode without violating the quiet zone as defined in the “Hor. Quiet Zone” menu, where the width of the replacement barcode plus quiet zones is too large to fit the available white space on the page.
• Enable (factory default). If this fault occurs, reduce the quiet zone to see if the barcode fits.
• Disable. Quiet zone violations are not reported, but adjacent page elements could be drawn too close to replacement barcodes and possibly overlap.
Update PDF
There are two distinct cases with barcode PDFs. In the first case, the PDF is partially embedded in the barcode such that erasing the bars also erases the PDF. In the second case, the PDF is printed entirely above or below the barcode and is not disturbed by the barcode replacement.
Whenever the PDF is embedded in the barcode such that erasing the bars also erases the PDF, the embedded PDF will be automatically detected and replaced. An area surrounding the barcode will be erased to remove the portions of the former PDF that extended beyond the bounds of the original barcode. The erase area is shown in the figure below. Since embedded PDFs are automatically replaced, the Update PDF menu option has no effect on this type of PDF.
200
When the PDF is printed above or below the barcode, the behavior will depend on the Update PDF menu setting.
• Embedded Only (factory default). Embedded PDFs will not be replaced. This allows the user to keep the present PDF data and its font, etc.
• Always. PDFs will always reprint. For instance, since the original PDF will not be centered with respect to the replaced barcode, the user may want to always replace the PDF. When set to Always, an extra 1/6” is erased to remove the original PDF. If the original PDF is not fully erased, it is up to the user to increase the Ver. Erase Zone setting such that the original PDF will be completely erased prior to the replacement being printed.
Barcodes on Page
This setting defines the number of barcodes that must be detected on the form. If the value is set to
“Auto” (factory default), no particular number of barcodes are required to be detected. If the value is set to a number between 1 to 20, then the number of barcodes set is required to be detected on each form. If the printer detects fewer barcodes than the value set, the fault “x/y BARCODES / Not Found” is declared. x represents the number of barcodes not found, and y represents the Barcodes on Page value. Printing will not continue until the user clears this fault.
Bcodes Optimized
This is a display menu that continuously counts the number of barcodes that have been optimized since power-up. This statistic only resets to zero when the printer is powered off. This menu can be used as a diagnostic to check the number of barcodes optimized over a period of time or over a batch file.
201
PTX_SETUP Option
Selects the Special Function Control Code for the PTX_SETUP command and functions.
• Setup Parse. Disables or enables the PTX_SETUP command.
• Setup SFCC. Allows you to choose the hex value of the ASCII character you wish to use as the
SFCC for the PTX_SETUP command. Valid hex values are 01-FF. The default value is hex 21, which corresponds to the “!” character.
Hex Dump Mode
A hex code printout (or hex dump) translates all incoming data to hexadecimal equivalents. A hex dump lists each ASCII data character received from the host computer, together with its corresponding two-digit hexadecimal code. Hex dumps can be used to troubleshoot some types of printer data reception problems. The options include:
• Disable (factory default)
• Enable
Figure 44 on page 250. shows a hex dump sample.
Power-Up State
• Online (factory default). The printer powers up in the online state.
• Offline. The printer powers up in the offline state.
NOTE: This option is not available in the PCL-II or LG emulation.
Downloaded Fonts
Allows you to download a substitution table to replace any character in the current character set with a different character in the same font. The Downloaded Fonts menu applies to both LP+ Bitmaps and IGP
Block downloaded characters. For example, performing a Delete from Flash option deletes both Bitmap and Block downloaded characters from flash memory.
• Char Operations. Allows you to delete a character from flash, load a character from flash, save a character to flash, and delete a character from RAM.
• Ld Char at Pwrup. Allows you to disable or enable loading a character at power up.

NOTE: This option is not available in the PCL-II or LG emulation.
• DBCS Download. Allows you to save and delete downloadable DBCS characters from flash.
• Save to Flash. Saves the downloaded characters from the DRAM to FLASH memory. These characters can be automatically reloaded when the printer powers on. The saved file name is
“dbcsdwn”. The characters need to be in the DRAM prior to saving into FLASH memory by using any download commands.
• Delete DL. Font. Deletes the “dbcsdwn” file. The downloaded characters will no longer reside in
FLASH memory on subsequent power- ups.
PMD (Paper Motion Detection) Fault
• Enable (factory default). In the event of a paper jam, an audible alarm beeps, “CLEAR PAPER JAM” appears on the message display, and the printer stops printing.
• Disable. You should disable PMD only if special paper requires it.
202
CAUTION Once PMD is disabled, paper motion is not monitored. If a paper jam occurs, the printer ignores the condition and continues to print, possibly causing damage to the printer.
Auto Locking
• Disable (factory default). The ENTER key must be locked manually.
• Enable. The printer automatically locks the ENTER key five minutes after the last front panel key press.
Main File System
The Main File System refers to the flash resident on the P8000 controller.
• Overwrite Files. Allows you to prevent flash files from being overwritten by disabling the overwrite function.
• View File List. Displays the list of flash files in the main file system. Press the ENTER key to go into the submenu. Then press the UP or DOWN keys to view the different file names and size.
• Delete Files. Displays the list of flash files in the main file system. Press the LEFT or RIGHT keys to select the desired file to delete. Pressing the ENTER key deletes the file displayed on the control panel.

• Copy To SD. If the SD card is inserted, the section will allow the user to copy selected files from the main file system to the SD card (root directory).
• Optimize&Reboot. Reclaims flash space from deleted flash files within the main file system. After pressing ENTER, wait for the printer to reboot.
NOTE: When the Optimize&Reboot option is executed, the message, “Optimizing Flash Files” does not display before printer rebooting takes place.
• Print File List. Prints a summary of the flash files stored in flash memory and several statistics on
Main File System usage.
IMPORTANT Do not turn the printer off until it has completely rebooted and is either back online or offline.
SD File System
The SD File System menu appears if an SD card is inserted in the printer before power-up. The SD File
System applies only the SD card’s root directory.
IMPORTANT If you remove or insert the SD card after the printer is powered on, an error will occur.
• Overwrite Files. Prevents SD files from being overwritten by disabling the overwrite function.
• View SD Files. Displays the list of files on the SD card (root directory). Press the ENTER key to go into the submenu, then press the UP or DOWN keys to view the different SD file names and size.

on the SD card (see Appendix D, Quick Change Memory Card (QCMC).
• Erase QCMC. This menu can be used to erase the QCMC image stored on the SD card (see
Appendix D, Quick Change Memory Card (QCMC).
Set Sharing
This option allows character sets to be shared between the active LP+ protocol and the active IGP emulation.
Changing characters sets in LP+ causes the active IGP to change to the same character set if the selected set exists in IGP. If the active IGP has no access to the selected set, no changes are made.
Selecting a new character set in the active IGP causes the LP+ to change to the same character set if the selected character set exists in the active LP+ protocol. Not all sets are shared between emulations in the
Standard group of character sets. As a result, selecting a set in the Standard group of LP+ or IGP emulation may or may not cause the other emulation to have the same set.
NOTE: The Set Sharing front panel option has no effect on the LP+ build.
The option only applies to the builds with IGP.
This option is not available in the PCL-II or LG emulation.
Shuttle Timeout
The amount of time the shuttle continues moving after no data is received. If your host is slow, setting the number to a higher value will prevent the printer from spending time shuttling up and down between data bursts.
Slow Paper Slew
• Disable (factory default). The paper will slew and stack paper at maximum speed.
• Enable. Causes the paper to stack at a slower rate. This ensures that certain forms will stack neatly.
Alarm
• On (factory default). An audible alarm sounds (3 beeps) when a fault occurs, such as a paper jam.
• Cont. Beep. A continuous audible alarm sounds when a fault occurs, which can be stopped by pressing CLEAR.
• Off. No audible alarm will sound.
Power Saver Time
The time interval you specify for this parameter sets the amount of idle time before the printer goes into
Power Saver mode. When Instant is chosen, the printer goes into Power Saver mode as soon as it is able to stop the shuttle properly. The time allotted to perform this function depends upon the shuttle timeout value which can be set in the menu.
NOTE: Power Saver Mode will not be shown on the control panel even though the function still exists.
Sending a print job to the printer will turn off Power Saver mode.
204
Pwr Save Control
Allows you to enable or disable the Power Save mode.
• Enable (factory default). Allows you to enable the Power Save mode.
• Disable. Allows you to disable the Power Save mode.
Cancel Key
• Disable
• Enable (factory default). The CANCEL key may be used to clear all data in the print buffer without printing any of the data.
Rcv. Status Port
This option defines the interface being used to receive the emulation status command.
• Automatic (factory default). When selected, the status command is sent to the printer with the print data through the active host interface.
• Serial. When selected, the status command is sent to the printer through the serial interface regardless of the active host interface.
Ret. Status Port
This option selects the port for the Return Status Commands (i.e., ~STATUS for PGL) to send the status data back to the Host.
The options are Automatic (factory default), Serial, USB, E-NET Stat Port, IEEE 1284, Disable, and E-
NET Data Port.
Set Lock Key
Normally, to lock or unlock the printer menu, the UP and DOWN keys are pressed at the same time. The
Set Lock Key parameter lets you choose different keys to lock or unlock the printer menu. You may choose almost any group of keys as the new lock and unlock keys. You cannot use the ENTER key or any key combinations which are already used for another function. There is no limit to how many keys you can select.
To set the new lock key, follow these steps:
1. Work your way through the configuration menu until the display reads “Set Lock Key” (follow the
2. Press ENTER. The display reads, “Select a new lock key.”
3. Press the combination of keys you want to be the new lock key. Make sure you press all keys selected at the same time.
4. If the selection is valid, the display will read, “Enter the new lock key again.” If the selection is invalid, the display will read, “Invalid key selection.” Return to step 2 and start over.
5. Press the same combination of keys a second time. If the new lock key combination is entered again correctly, the display will read, “Lock key has been changed.” If it was entered incorrectly, the display will read “Verification failed.” Start over at step 2.
6. After entering the new lock combination successfully, press the ONLINE key to put the printer back online.
NOTE: The new lock combination will remain even if the printer is powered off and back on.
Job Sel/Typeface
NOTE: For H-Series printers only.
205
This option allows the user to change the printer’s active configuration or typeface in Offline mode.
• Job-Select On (factory default). Allows the user to change the printer’s active configuration.
• Typeface On. Allows the user to change the printer’s typeface.
Print Hist. Log
NOTE: For H-Series printers only.
Checks the status of user downloaded font files in the build.
OCR Font Density
Determines the horizontal print density for OCR-A and OCR-B fonts. A higher density will print higher quality OCR fonts at the cost of a lower print speed. The vertical density is always 144 DPI.
• 120 DPI (Factory default)
• 180 DPI
• 240 DPI
NOTE: The maximum density for the IPDS emulation is 180 DPI.
RBN Low Warn @
This option allows the user to select the Ribbon Life value at which point the printer will declare a ribbon low condition and display the "RIBBON UNDER XX% / Change RBN Soon" warning message. The
condition is reached.
The values are Under 2% (factory default), Under 5%, Under 10%, Under 20%, and Under 30%.
RBN Low Action
This menu determines how the printer behaves once a ribbon low condition is reached.
• Warn & Continue (factory default). Once a ribbon low condition is reached the printer beeps and displays the "RIBBON UNDER XX% / Change RBN Soon" warning message. Printing will continue without interruption. The warning message can be cleared by pressing the ONLINE/Clear button, however the message will persist again in two minutes. This action will continue until a ribbon out
(ribbon life reaches 0%) condition occurs.
• Warn & Pause. This setting is similar to the Warn & Continue selection with one exception. When a ribbon low condition is reached the printer will still display the "RIBBON UNDER XX%/Change RBN
Soon" warning message, however the printer will stop printing. This is meant to get the user’s attention. To resume printing the user must press the ONLINE/ Clear key.
NOTE: Printing will only stop on the first occurrence of a ribbon low condition. Once the user clears the warning message, subsequent warnings will display the warning message but printing will continue.
RBN End Action
This menu allows the user to override the normal ribbon low warning and ribbon out conditions.
• Stop At RBN End (factory default). When this factory default option is selected, the printer displays a warning message when a ribbon low condition is reached and display a ribbon out fault when ribbon life reaches 0%.
• Ignore RBN End. When this menu option is selected, it overrides the ribbon low and ribbon out conditions, i.e. no warning or fault messages is displayed and printing continues even after ribbon life reaches 0%. However, once the ribbon life reaches an excess wear condition as indicated by the fault
206
message "EXCESS RBN WEAR / Install New RBN", printing will stop and the user must install a new ribbon before printing can resume.
NOTE: The excess ribbon wear is set below the "Lighter -10" Ribbon End Point setting.
Print Energy (1000 lpm only)
This menu allows the user to optimize energy or impact of the hammers when printing single or multipart forms.
• Standard (factory default). When this factory default option is selected, the printing energy is optimized for normal jobs.
• PowerPrint. When this option is enabled, printing is optimized for multi-part forms.
Disp. Intensity
This menu controls the intensity of the LCD display. The range is 0-20 and the default setting is 2.
Program select
This menu is available only with the ASCII bundle firmware and allows the selection of the active program. Choosing an active program will require the printer to reload its firmware causing all saved configurations to be lost. The process will take three to five minutes. Program Files are stored in the Flash
Files System and can be deleted if more space is need in the Flash File System. Once the file has been deleted, the program will no longer appear in the Program Select menu. If all of the Program Files are deleted this menu will no longer be shown. The programs in the ASCII bundle firmware:
• IPDS/PGL/VGL/LP+
• TN 3270/5250
• ANSI
