    problem with macro files on Kyocera printer

    Hello everyone,
    this is my first post and I apologize in advance if I'm committing some inaccuracy in posting the request.
    Here's my problem: I have a Kyocera TASKalfa MZ4000i that needs to print in facilitated reading.
    Using the NetViewer software, I inserted a macro file (precompiled by an external company) into the printer and created the job start string and the job end string using the PRESCRIBE language on logical port TCP 9001.
    Now, when from the AS400 operating system I go to print on the TASKalfa, EVERYTHING comes out correctly as requested by the customer... the only problem is that if I turn the printer off and on, the MACRO file disappears from the machine
    (I can check it by running the command !R!MLST;EXIT; before and after switching off) and therefore subsequent prints no longer come out with facilitated reading.
    I'm probably missing some command that goes to save the MACRO in the machine definitively.
    The problem is that I have no PRESCRIBE experience and I'm inheriting a situation created by those who managed printers before me.
    Anyone got idea?


    Thank you and I am attaching the commands used
    Diego


    the job start string is: !R!delms1;mcros1;psrc100;mtyp3;STPL2;callLTF1;endm ;ccpyE;amcrE,s1;term1;endc;exit;


    the end-of-job string is:
    !R!JOBT;CCPYD;DELMS1;RES;EXIT;


    while the content of the macro is:
    !R!

      Re: problem with macro files on Kyocera printer

      I believe it's in the driver setting to call it up everytime it prints.

          I have not looked at prescribe in a long time, there maybe many things different with a current machine and prescribe.
          but at least at one time on the configuration file for the macro was to set default -load at power on. It sounds like your macro is not being loaded into memory at power on.

              Generally IC Link is used for the process of embedding permanent macros.

              What Net Viewer process did you use, Send File?

                      Re: problem with macro files on Kyocera printer

                      The NetViewer process must only write the macro to VRAM and not permanent storage.
                      Macro - Location - Property
                      Downloaded - RAM - Temporary/Permanent
                      Memory card - Memory card - Permanent
                      Internal - ROM - Permanent

                          Re: problem with macro files on Kyocera printer

                          Save the following text to a file named "LTF1.MCR" and then drop the file into ICLINK as a Macro and build it to an SD card in the printer; this will store the macro permanently on the SC card. Make sure you check the "Wisecore" box on ICLINK when building the Macro (sending to the printer).

                              Thanks so much for filling in the missing piece I left out.

                              After spending 2 weeks in Chicago learning Oce FOL and never using it(back in the day), I swore to stay away from Prescribe Macro's. I think I've had to move one to a new machine exactly twice in almost 20 years.

                                  Re: problem with macro files on Kyocera printer - RESOLVED

                                  Thank you all for your help and time. The problem was solved by contacting Kyocera support directly who provided me with the exact command string which I am attaching below. The macro is now correctly saved to the hard drive.


                                  thanks again and greetings from Italy!
