Description:

For the 3230/3244 Trendsetter 'b' (starting at V2.31), the 3230/3244 Trendsetter Autoloader (starting at V1.30), 3230/3244 Trendsetter Spectrum (starting at V1.40) and Proofsetter (starting at V1.40), this parameter holds the machine type.

Base Trendsetter:

• TS4F (3230F full-option Trendsetter)

• TS3F (3244F full-option Trendsetter)

• TS3E (3244E entry-level Trendsetter)

Trendsetter Autoloader as of V1.42:

• TS4_V (3230 V speed Trendsetter Autoloader)

• TS8_F (3244 F speed Trendsetter Autoloader)

• TS8_V (3244 V speed Trendsetter Autoloader)

Trendsetter Autoloader prior to V1.42:

• TS4F (3230F TS4 full-option Trendsetter Autoloader)

• TS3N (3230F TS3 full-option Trendsetter Autoloader)

• TS3F (3244F TS3 full-option Trendsetter Autoloader)

• TS8F (3244F TS8 or TS3/8 full-option Trendsetter Autoloader)

• TS3E (3244E TS3 entry-level Trendsetter Autoloader)

• TS8E (3244E TS8 or TS3/8 entry-level Trendsetter Autoloader)

Trendsetter Spectrum:

• "SP4R_" (3230 Trendsetter Spectrum with throughput specs prior to Dec 2000)

• "SP8R_" (3244 Trendsetter Spectrum with throughput specs prior to Dec 2000)

• "SP4LS" (3230 Trendsetter Spectrum EL)

• "SP4RV" (3230 Trendsetter Spectrum V)

• "SP8LS" (3244 Trendsetter Spectrum EL)

• "SP8RF" (3244 Trendsetter Spectrum F)

• "SP8RV" (3244 Trendsetter Spectrum V)

Proofsetter:

• "PS8R_" (Proofsetter Spectrum)

This parameter can only be set using the "config" command during the first two minutes after startup. Configuring a machine as an E-type (entry-level) machine disables several features such as temperature compensation and geometric correction. The S, F, or V speed determines the throughput of the machine.

For the Trendsetter Autoloader, this parameter also determines whether to use the solenoid mapping for TS3 or for TS4 and TS8.

For Platesetters, this parameter was used for development purposes only.

The dongle is a security device that is connected to a serial port on the back of the MPE backplane. The dongle is programmed during integration and cannot be changed in the field. The dongle's contents are read by the MPE firmware when the machine is running.

Type:

Default:

• blank

Range:

• up to 10 characters

Notes:

Currently, only the VLF Platesetter uses the dongle. There are no plans to support the dongle on the Green 3244 Platesetters in the future.
