to default X.3 printer parameter values.

Device class names Device classes provide a means of accessing devices associated
with a profile. Each device class name is up to eight alphanumeric
characters beginning with a letter.
Up to 450 device class names may be used for a printer profile; the
total number of supported, configured device classes defined in all
profiles is 2000. Use the
[Go To CLASSES]
key to go to an Additional
Device Class Names screen for entering additional device class names.
NOTE If you are changing profile characteristics, you can see which ldevs and DTCs will be
affected by the change by pressing the
[Assoc Ldevs]
function key on the profile screen
corresponding to the profile you are changing. After pressing this key, you will see a list
of all ldevs using this profile in the DTCs configured in DTS.
