  2. From the Configure, Profile, or Profiles page, add or edit a profile, and then change the settings if necessary:

    • Button Text or Icon Text—Type up to 20 characters that will appear above the profile button on the printer home screen. This field is required.

    • Button Icon or Icon—Browse to a new image file that represents the profile on the printer home screen. This field is optional.

    • Button Icon when pressed or Icon when pressed—Browse to a new image file that will be displayed while the profile icon is being pressed. This field is optional.

      Notes:

      • For printers running the Embedded Solutions Framework (eSF) version 3.0 or later, the image should be a PNG file with a transparent background, and should measure 192 x 302 pixels. It should not exceed 11KB in size.
      • For printers running eSF version 2.0, the image should be a GIF, PNG, or JPEG file, and should measure 120 x 75 pixels.
      • For printers running eSF version 1.2, the image should be a GIF file and should measure 120 x 75 pixels.
      • If you are unsure about which version of eSF your printer is running, then see Checking which version of the Embedded Solutions Framework is installed on a printer.
