HP LineJet Printers - Printer Manager User's Guide, 170988-001PX

Configuration Editor

Saving Configuration Files

Normally, your printer is limited to the nine configurations it

saves in its non-volatile memory. Any changes to these

configurations would be made through the printer’s operator

panel. The advantage to using the printer manager to manage

your configurations is you may store a nearly unlimited number

of configurations on your host computer.

Once you have made all of your changes, you may save your

configurations as a .cfg file on your local hard drive. This way,

you may choose to open any set of configurations from your host

computer and download them into your printer quickly and

easily.

To save configurations to your local hard drive, click File →

Save As. You will be prompted to enter a file name. Be sure to

save your configurations as a

filename.cfg

file.

Opening Configuration Files

To open a configuration file, click File → Open. The

Configuration Editor loads the settings from the file you choose.

Remember, these settings will not affect the current

configuration or the active printer status until the configurations

are downloaded to the printer.

NOTE:The Configuration Editor displays one configuration file at

a time. Be sure to save any changes before opening a

different configuration file.

Downloading Configurations

You may use the Configuration Editor to download any

configurations you have created into your printer. Open the

configuration file you wish to use, then use the options under the

Download menu to send individual configurations, all

configurations, or just the configuration names.

Downloading a configuration deletes the corresponding

configuration currently stored in the printer. If you wish to save

the configurations currently stored in the printer before

overwriting them, upload them into the Configuration Editor first

and then save them as a .cfg file on your local hard drive.
