Service Manual ALS/XLS 20x/256/27202/2019 | 01 134 Enhanced FunctionsSAVING/LOADING A CONFIGURATIONApplicationsIt sometimes happens that all of the parameter settings for a labeler must be restored or transferredto another labeler. In such cases, the user can import all of the function settings together as a set,saving time, money and stress. The following applications come to mind:– After a service action, when the same settings as before the service are to be reinstalled on alabeler.– When the settings in the functions menu of one labeler are to be transferred onto another ma-chine of the same model.– When several labelers of the same model are to be set up with exactly the same settings.In these cases, it is convenient to first export and save the settings so that they can later be import-ed. There are two ways of doing this:– Data interface: Readout via the data interface with the help of appropriate interface commands.This method requires a sound knowledge of the Easy Plug command language and will not bedescribed here (for detailed information see the Easy Plug manual).– External memory medium: Saving the settings onto a memory medium as a text file (“setup file”)(see description that follows).For details about applying external memory media refer to the „External memory mediamanual“.Saving onto an external memory medium Switch the labeler off. Connect a memory medium to the USB connector. Switch the labeler on. Call MACHINE SETUP > Store Parameters– This function only appears in the menu if there is a memory card in the labeler’s card slot. Choose an option for saving: “With adjust para” or “Without adj. par”– “With adjust para”: (Preset): device-specific settings are included in what is saved. These in-clude sensor settings, for example.The names of the relevant functions are marked with a “*” in the text file.This setting is recommended when the intention is to transfer the settings back onto the samemachine.– “Without adj. par”: parameters that contain device-specific settings are excluded from what issaved.This is recommended when settings from one machine are to be transferred to another machineof the same model. Press the button.– The preset file name is now shown (saved in \FORMATS directory on the memory medium):“SETUPALL ALS xxx yy zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.FOR” for MACHINE SETUP > Store Parameters = “Withadjust para”“SETUP ALS xxx yy zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.FOR” for MACHINE SETUP > Store Parameters = “Without adj.par”(with xxx = machine type, e. g. 306; yy = RH or LH; zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz = CPU board serial num-ber)
