STX Kp Module Protection
(Display-Equipped Models only)
This command controls memory module protection. When “protected”, a module will ignore format,
downloads and delete commands. This command can be useful to add data to Datamax reserved
modules, Z (ILPC) and Y (EFIGS). See Appendix K for a listing of the memory modules.
There are two types of modules: RAM (volatile) and Flash (non-volatile).
RAM - When protected, if the power is cycled or if the printer is reset, the module state resets
back to unprotected.
Flash - When protected, the module can be temporarily unprotected. However, if the power is
cycled or if the printer is reset, the module is initialized to ‘protected.’
Syntax:
<STX>Kpmf
Where:
m
- Module ID – Range A to Z (See Appendix K).
Where:
f
- Flag specifying Enable or Disable protection.
0 = disable protection
1 = enable protection
Sample:
<STX>KpY0
This example disables protection for memory module “Y”. Graphics may now be downloaded to
module “Y” and, on subsequent resets, these graphics will be protected.
