pack the permanent font area
pack the logo and user-defined character area

Issuing this command will pack the objects currently stored in flash memory. Objects that are no
longer valid will be removed. This will provide the user the maximum amount of storage in this
area for new objects.
Note: Flash memory is made up of user and program code. Therefore, the available flash memory
space will vary with the amount of program code utilized.

is the ID of the user-defined character set to

delete. This will delete all characters found that are part of the specified set.

double-byte font where

n2

is the font ID and

n3

is the font style of the font to

delete. This will delete the double-byte font of the specified ID and style. If no other fonts of the
same ID are found, the double-byte table that corresponds to this ID will be deleted as well.

n1

POS fontset where

n2

is the ID of the fontset to delete. This will delete both fonts

specified by the fontset, if they are not used in any other fontset.

n1

= 0F demo script, which takes no following n parameters. Erases all scripts found, not individual

scripts.

Issuing this command will delete an individual object or group of objects from flash memory. The
parameter n3 is not used for all types. To reuse the space that these objects occupied in flash
memory, a flash area pack must be performed after deleting the object(s).
Note: Flash memory is made up of user and program code. Therefore, the available flash memory
space will vary with the amount of program code utilized.
