Service Manual PAM 36002 Expanded Functions for Servicing

2.2 Expanded Functions in the "Setup" Menu

There are a variety of parameters that can be set to congure the printer to specic requirements.

There are three different methods to set the parameters of the Printer Conguration:

Conguration via the control panel (see Operator's Manual),

Conguration via the optional Ethernet interface accessing the internal web server of the printer using a Java

enabled browser (see Operator's Manual of the optional Ethernet interface),

Conguration via immediate commands (described in the Programming Manual, chapter "Immediate

Commands").

Print Parameters

Protocol Error

With the service key inserted, the parameter "Protocol error" is accessible in the "Print parameters" submenu.

The protocol error parameter is "ON" in the standard setting. As a result, the printer switches to the error state after

receiving unknown or faulty data.

When working with older computer operating systems, it may happen that the operating system’s print spooler

sends normal printer status messages (e.g. end of paper) back to the printer as ASCII text.

The printer cannot interpret this data and produces a long series of protocol errors. The protocol error display can

be switched off in such a case.

CAUTION!

Data loss!

Protocol errors arising from faulty programming are also ignored in the "OFF" setting. There is a

risk of losing data.

Insert the service key into the Master USB socket.

Switch from online mode to the ofine menu by pressing the key.

Press the or key until you reach the "Setup" menu, and then press the key.

Now select the "Print parameters" submenu and then the "Protocol error" parameter, then press the key.

Set the parameter according to your requirements.

Interfaces

The following parameters can be called or congured in the "Interfaces" submenu:

Character set,

IEEE1284,

RS-232.

If the optional interfaces

RS-422/485,

Ethernet and

Keyboard

are installed then these are also shown for setting.

NOTICE!

The parameters of the options "RS-422/485 interface", "Ethernet interface" and "Keyboard" can

be accessed with the service key, even if these components are not present.

Please refer to the "Printer Conguration" section of the printer or optional component operator's manuals for

instructions on how to perform the conguration and set the parameters.
