There are a number of configuration-type switches on the controller board, but the documentation that comes with the printer gives no clues as to their purpose (except to note that they are all set at the factory for typical installations and should not be mucked with by the unknowledgeable. Way to go Apple! >-( ) I know that there is some postscipt sequence that will do the trick (although I don't know what the sequence is) but since there is no mention of a battery for retaining parameters across a power-down, I didn't think that that approach would work here. Any help would be appreciated. TIA..... .....rob coben, currently contracting to AT&T Bell Labs, homxc.att.com It ought to something like: %------------------- 0 exitserver statusdict begin false setdostartpage %------------------- The printers either got an eeprom or a battery-backuped RAM for data that needs to be retained between powerups.
