42Auto Save ConfigurationIf the user makes a menu change and attempts to place the printer online without saving the changes to aconfiguration, the following prompt displays:The active option is highlighted. Use the Up and Down keys to scroll through the different options; thekeys will loop at the top and bottom options. The ↵ (Enter) key selects the highlighted option. Afterperforming the selected option, the printer will go to Online mode.NOTE: Only the Up, Down, and Enter keys work at the Menu Changes Detected prompt.• Save Permanently (factory default). This option causes the printer to save the configuration to theactive configuration and make the active configuration the Power-Up default configuration. If theactive configuration is the Factory Configuration, the printer will save the configuration to an openconfiguration and make that open configuration the Power-Up default configuration.If no open configuration is available, the user must decide which configuration to overwrite. In thiscase the printer will display the Save Configuration menu, otherwise, the printer will go Online.• Save Temporarily. Menu changes will be implemented, but will not be saved once the printer ispowered off.• Cancel Changes. This option causes the printer to reload the Active Configuration, then go Online.• Restore Factory. This option will cause the printer to reload the Factory Configuration, then goOnline.NOTE: A printer fault during the Auto Save process causes the printer to Save Temporarily.Saving Your New ConfigurationThe Save Config. option allows you to save up to eight custom configurations to meet different print jobrequirements. Once you have changed all of the necessary parameters, you may save them as anumbered configuration (Example 1 on page 43) or a named configuration (Example 2 on page 45) thatcan be stored and loaded later for future use. If you do not save your configuration using the Auto Save,or this option, all of your parameter changes will be erased when you power off the printer.Once you have saved a custom configuration using this option, it will not be lost if you power off theprinter. You can load a configuration for a specific print job (see Load Config. on page 74). You can alsomodify and resave it. You may want to print your configurations and store them in a safe place, such asinside the printer cabinet. If the Protect Configs. parameter is enabled and you try to resave an existingconfiguration, the new configuration will not be saved until the existing configuration has been deleted(see Delete Config. on page 74).NOTE: Once you change active emulations, any changes to the previously selected emulation will begone unless they have been saved.
