M-Class 141
Menu System Multi-Language Support (display-equipped printers only)
This printer provides the user with the ability to download new menu system languages and/or replace the Datamax
provided translations. A Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet defines the menu dictionary – the user adds a new language
column or modifies an existing column in the spreadsheet, clicks on the ‘Generate DPL file(s)’ radio button and sends the
generated DPL file(s) to the printer.
Here are the highlights and restrictions of the feature:
The printer can register up to 10 different display languages, including EFIGS.
The EFIGS languages and any additional languages are stored on Module Y: a 64KB Flash Module located on the
Main PCB.
It is okay to download menu files generated for a lesser firmware revision to new firmware – any messages that are
not defined are displayed in English.
For the procedures below, the printer will accept the menu downloads from any available port.
The language creation programs support Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000.
