NOTE: If the FORMAT file contains a print command, then the label will be
printed at the end of this command.
^A ^D COMMAND
XX 139 Send a FLASH FORMAT to the communications port.
^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. This command
causes the printer to send a previously loaded FORMAT file out the
communications port to the HOST.
Use this command to view label Format’s that have been saved in the printer’s
non-volatile FLASH memory.
140 Clear all User GRAPHIC and FONT FLASH.
This command erases the user FONTS and GRAPHICS in FLASH memory.
This command is equivalent to sending:
1)
^A0^D134 (clears all GRAPHICS),
2) ^A0^D137 (clears all FONTS).
Label FORMATS stored in user FLASH memory are NOT erased by this
command. Use the ^D131 command to erase label FORMATS stored in
FLASH memory.
IMPORTANT NOTE!!! Embedded FONTS and label FORMATS are NOT
erased. However, any custom FONTS and GRAPHICS loaded into user
FLASH memory at the factory WILL be erased.
Hint: After the user FLASH has been deleted, the ^D119 command may be
used to verify that Slots #1 thru #255 are now available in FLASH.
141 Clear User GRAPHIC and FONT FLASH & RAM memory.
This command clears all user FONTS and GRAPHICS in FLASH memory, and
all the downloaded FONTS and GRAPHICS in RAM. This command is the
equivalent to sending:
1) ^D100 (clears all downloaded FORMATS, FONTS and GRAPHICS
in RAM.
2) ^A0^D140 (clears all user FONTS and GRAPHICS in FLASH).
Label FORMATS stored in user FLASH memory are NOT erased by this
command. Use the ^D131 command to erase label FORMATS stored in
FLASH memory.
Please note that this command may take some time (depending on how much
is stored). During this time the printer will not respond to commands. The
printer may appear to be locked up until the command finishes.
