3860/80 User’s Manual6-4Rename a FormatAn alphanumeric name of up to 16 characters can be assigned to each of the four storedformats and also to the active format. This can only be done from the host using ANSI escapesequences. See the ANSI chapter of the Programmer's Manual.The stored format names are saved in nonvolatile RAM until changed by the user or reset byISU.Note: A user-defined name for the active format will be lost when a stored format iscalled up.Linking Emulations to FormatsWhen the printer is shipped, and again at ISU, none of the stored formats is linked to anemulation. After ISU, the current emulation remains current when a stored format is enabled.This is true whether the stored format is invoked by a paper-path change, by the control panelFormat key, or by ANSI CSU command. In other words, an ISU unlinks emulations andformats.Any supported emulation can be assigned (linked) to any of stored formats 1-4. The only waythat a linkage can be either assigned or modified is via the Printed Menu. A linkage thusestablished is the only stored parameter that is immune from being over-written if the currentstate of the printer is saved to the affected format. This is true whether the current state issaved by the SAVE function on the LCD menu, or by ANSI CSS command.
