SETUP
Field of Application
Statement for entering the printer’s Setup Mode or changing the
setup.
Syntax SETUP
If no parameter is specifi ed, the printer enters the Setup
Mode.
SETUP <sexp>
<sexp> is the name of an existing setup fi le that will be used to change
the printer’s entire current setup, or
a string used to change a single parameter in the printer’s
current setup.

Remarks
The SETUP statement can be used for several purposes as illustrated above.
Related instructions are SETUP GET and SETUP WRITE.
By default, the setup parameters are saved as a fi le in the printer’s permanent
memory. However, using SYSVAR (35) it is possible to decide that any new
change will not be saved (volatile). See SYSVAR.
The methods of manual setup via the printer’s built-in keyboard are
described in the Installation & Operation manuals for the various printer
models. You can also use setup fi les and setup strings to change the setup
as a part of the program execution, or to change the setup by remote
control from the host.
A setup fi le may contain new values for one or several setup parameters,
whereas a setup string only can change a single parameter. Another difference
is that, while the creation of setup fi les requires several operations, setup
strings can be created in a single operation which makes them suitable for
use with the Intermec Direct protocol.
When a SETUP<sexp> statement is encountered, the setup will be changed
accordingly, then the program execution will be resumed. Note that some
printing instructions (ALIGN, DIR, FONT, and PRPOS) may be changed
when test labels are printed.
The content of setup fi les can be listed using the program FILELIST.PRG
stored in the printer’s permanent memory ("rom:"), or by COPYing the fi le to
the communication channel of the host, usually "uart1:".
