Firmware Keys and STOP
Commands
The ProMaster 2500 is normally operated in remote mode using the
TaskLink software. Some of the firmware key commands listed in this
Appendix are active only while the handler is in local mode. To execute a
firmware key command from one of the handler menus, perform the
following steps:
1. Put the handler into local mode by pressing the
LOWER CASE
+
L
keys.
2. Go to the appropriate menu and press the key sequence to access the
display.
3. Enter the new numeric value or answer the prompt from the 2500’s
keyboard and press
START
.
The 2500 supports a second set of commands known as STOP commands,
because the commands are entered after pressing
STOP
to pause the
2500. These differ from the firmware key commands because they can be
used while processing devices so you do not have to exit the current Task.

Firmware Keys and STOP Commands
B-2 ProMaster 2500 User Manual
Function Keys to Press Description
While in Remote
Mode:
Local mode
LOWER CASE + L
Changes the 2500 from remote mode to local mode.
Select this mode to run operations such as
diagnostics tests and firmware keys.
While in Local Mode:
Remote mode
LOWER CASE + R
Changes the 2500 from local mode to remote mode.
Display intensity
↓ ↑
Adjust the intensity of the display.
From the Main Menu:
Advance label
LOWER CASE + A
Advances the label’s position for application on the
device. The nominal range is 35 to 60.
Restore factory default
parameters
LOWER CASE + D
Sets all handler parameters to their original software
default values. Use lower case “y” to activate this
function.
Remote mode
LOWER CASE + R
Puts the handler in computer remote control mode
(required for operation with TaskLink PC software).
Set time-out delay for
programming module
LOWER CASE + T
Sets a delay between the time a device is inserted into
the programming module and when TaskLink sends
the command to start programming. When you run
the Cycle Parts operation, this command defines the
length of time the device will be held in the
programming module, simulating a device’s being
programmed. Each digit on the display equals 100
milliseconds (default = 2).
Printer type
LOWER CASE + W
Configures the 2500 for thermal or dot matrix printer
operation.
From the File Utilities Menu:
Delete label files
LOWER CASE + A
Deletes all label files stored in the system. A warning
prompt is displayed.
From the Diagnostics/Optic Test Menu:
Adjust ADC Optic
LOWER CASE + A
Adjust the ADC value to 200 using the
↑
and
↓
.
Reset motor encoder
LOWER CASE + R
Resets the beam traverse motor’s encoder to zero.
Used for motor testing.
Vacuum generator
On/Off
V
Turns the vacuum generator on and off while you
run the Optics diagnostic test.
Engage programming
module clamp
C
Engages and disengages the programming module
clamp each time you press
C
. Optics 22 and 23
should toggle.

ProMaster 2500 User Manual B-3
From the Diagnostics/Motor Menu
Changes beam &
input/output motor
speed
LOWER CASE + M
Allows changes to the speed for the beam motor,
input track shake motor, and output track shake
motor. Increasing the motor value on the display
lowers the speed and increases the motor’s torque. If
the beam is stalling, the lead screw should be cleaned
and lubricated. If this does not completely resolve
the beam problem, increase the value on the display
to give the motor more torque. (Default settings:
Beam maximum = 225; Input and output orbital
motors = 125.)
From the System Setup Menu
Saves system specific
parameters
LOWER CASE + S
Saves all function keys and current parameters as the
system specific parameters. Answer “Y” to the
question posed on the front panel display.
The 2500 has three separate sets of handler/labeler
parameters, which it stores in memory. These are
only those parameters entered from the 2500’s
keyboard. (TaskLink screen parameters are saved by
that program on your PC hard disk.)
•
Current default parameters.
Each time you turn
the handler off, the system software saves all the
existing parameters to EEPROM and restores
these same values when you power up again.
•
System specific parameters.
The parameters
saved by the
LOWER CASE + S
command are
user-defined parameters. This function key
command allows you to set the handler for a
particular set of configuration parameters chosen
by your company. These are also written to a
different EEPROM block on the handler
controller board than the system parameters are.
If these values are changed by another user (as
described in option #1 above) you may restore
the last set of saved parameters by pressing
LOWER CASE + R
.
•
Factory default parameters.
These are the
original firmware parameters that the 2500 uses
during powerup mode. To restore these factory
values, enter
LOWER CASE + D
from the 2500’s
main menu. Answer the display’s confirmation
question by pressing
LOWER CASE + Y
.
Restore previously
saved system
parameters
LOWER CASE + R
Restores system specific parameters previously
saved by the
LOWER CASE + S
command. Press
Y
to answer “Yes” to the question prompts on the front
panel display to restore these firmware key and
setup parameters.
