[Promotion-technology] In Yet Another Pickle

[Susan Tabor]

Hi, Gary:

Thank you so much for this information! What are escape sequences?

Routinely I lose all settings pertaining to all margin settings and I think
number of lines per page. Any help you can give would be appreciated. If you
would like to write me off-line and if it's OK to contact you by phone
during the day, we could set a time to work on this. Thanks so much, Gary!
Cheers,
Susan

P.S.:  I need to appologize to all of you for the whiney tone of my email
last night. I was tvery tired and very frustrated and probably shouldn't
have written it then but also knew I really needed to.

It sounds like the embosser not retaining its settings is definitely a 
hardware problem. There are ways, using what are called escape sequences to 
send these commands you need such as margins, single or double sided 
embossing, and printer speed to the embosser each time you turn it on, but 
they'd take a bit of programming. I may be able to help if you can tell me 
what settings constantly are lost, but again I think there is a hardware 
problem if you are exiting the setting change menu with the command to save 
the settings.

Gary
