The default value is “^” (5Eh) or “~” (7Eh).
When this code exists in a command, it becomes the head of the next
command.
Parameter:
Basically, parameters other than file name parameters are “A” (41h) to “Z” (5Ah), “a” (61h)
to “z” (7Ah), or “0” (30h) to “9” (39h).
The control code (00h to 1Fh) and space (20h) are not supported. When notified, the
parameter is omitted (e.g. 10[20h]00 -> 1000).
For other supported codes, refer to the description of each command parameter. For file
name parameters, refer to “File name” in “7.2 COMMANDS USED FOR DEVICES.”
Separator code:
The default setting is “,” (2Ch).

7.2 COMMANDS USED FOR DEVICES
Applicable commands: DF/XF/DG/DY/IS/XG/IM/IL/ID/HW/HG/HY/DU/A@/CW
These commands have the following common specifications:
[Common specifications]
Drive selection
• When the A or B drive is selected, data is saved in the USB memory.
• When a drive other than valid drives (A/B/E/R) is selected, saving/reading operation is not
performed.
Saving function
• Saving into or reading from the onboard Flash ROM cannot be performed simultaneously with
the PC commands saving function of the Oki Data printer. The operation with the PC
commands saving function used is not guaranteed.
• While a file is being saved, “SAVING (this indication depends on the language)” is displayed
on the LCD. During the saving processing, key operation is invalid. When the data is saved
into RAM, “SAVING” is not displayed on the LCD.
• Since at least two blocks of PC commands saving area are used for saving operation, secure
at least two blocks before using the saving function.
• The number of files that can be saved shall be 500 per drive.
• When the number of files exceeds 500, “MEMORY FULL” is displayed on the LCD and the
saving is stopped.
Reading operation
• If the file name specified for reading operation does not exist, it is not counted for the printing
field. Therefore, when only a call command without a file name is specified for a label,
issuing is not performed.
