SETUP WRITE
Field of Application
 Statement for creating a fi le containing the printer’s current setup or for 
returning it on a specifi ed communication channel.
Syntax SETUP WRITE[<sexp
1
>] ,<sexp
2
>
<sexp
1
> is an optional parameter specifying the setup section. 
<sexp
2
> is the name of a fi le or device to which the printer's current 
setup is to be written. 
Remarks
 The SETUP WRITE statement is useful when you want to return to the 
printer’s current setup at a later moment. You can make a copy of the current 
setup using SETUP WRITE<fi lename>, change the setup using a SETUP 
<fi lename> statement, and, when so is required, return to the original setup by 
issuing a new SETUP<fi lename> statement containing the name of the fi le 
created by the SETUP WRITE<fi lename> statement.
 It  is  strongly  recommended  to  create  the  fi le in the printer’s temporary 
memory ("tmp:"), for example SETUP WRITE "tmp:OLDSETUP". Once 
it has been created in "tmp:", it can be copied to the printer’s permanent 
memory "c:" so it will not be lost at power off. 
 Another  application  of  SETUP WRITE  is  transmitting  the  printer’s 
current setup on a serial communication channel, for example SETUP 
WRITE "uart1:".
 Setup sections are used in connection with EasyLAN 100i. Refer to Chapter 
8, EasyLAN 100i Setup for a list of setup sections.
 SETUP WRITE returns the printer’s setup in the following order (the example 
shows default values for a standard EasyCoder 501 XP printer):
SETUP WRITE "uart1:" 
  yields:
