The printer’s FLASH is nonvolatile, so FONTS that are downloaded using the
^D135 will be stored in FLASH memory until specifically erased by the user.
The following 3 parameters are included in the FONT file when it is created:
1. Memory destination: RAM or FLASH
2. Memory File #: 1
 255 (this is the CGN #)
3. Rotation: 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°
How to save a FONT to FLASH:
1. Create the special FONT download file with FLASH set as the
memory destination,
2. Send the file to the printer using a standard communications
program set for 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
Hint : After the FONT file has been sent, the ^D119 command may be used to verify
that the new FONT is now available in FLASH.
^A ^D COMMAND
XX 136 Delete a FONT from RAM.
^A0 deletes all FONTS from RAM
^Axx deletes the FONT stored in RAM Slot #xx
Valid values for Axx are 1 to 255. The user selects the RAM memory Slot #xx
that will be cleared.
Hint: After the FONT file has been deleted, the ^D119 command may be used to
verify that Slot #xx is now available in RAM. The FONT may extend over
several slots and the ^D119 will indicate how many slots are used.
XX
137 Delete a FONT from FLASH.
^A0 deletes all FONTS from FLASH
^Ax deletes the FONT stored in FLASH Slot #x
Valid values for Axx are 1 to 255. The user selects the FLASH memory Slot
#xx that will be cleared.
Hint: After the FONT file has been deleted, the ^D119 command may be used to
verify that Slot #xx is now available in FLASH. The FONT may extend over
several slots and the ^D119 will indicate how many slots are used.
XX
138 Process a FLASH FORMAT.
^Axx references the FORMAT file stored in Slot #xx
Valid values for Axx are 1 to 128.
Label FORMATS are saved into FLASH Slots 1 to 128. Each of these
FORMAT slots specifies how to build the dot rows that are used to print a label
on the printer.
This command tells the printer to take the Label FORMAT file in Slot #xx and
build up its image in the printer’s slice buffer. After this command is finished,
the label may be printed by sending the ^C print command.
