3 Printer Configuration
SATO printers have four ways of configuring the operational parameters
printer settings:
• dip switches
• potentiometers
• LCD menu settings
• commands in the data stream.
The host commands to modify configuration settings will modify the current
configuration values as if the user changed them manually on the front panel.
NOTE: Unlike the SATO printers, the modified configuration settings will not
be saved to NOVRAM. It is the user’s responsibility to save the
appropriate configuration and the power-up configuration.
Configuration Setting Compatibility
The available printer control menu settings is used and non-existent settings
are added to a new STGL menu to emulate all settings that can be supported.
