Printer File System 

This chapter describes how to store macros and graphics in the printer file system. 

Macros 

Commands and variable texts sent to the printer can be stored in the printer's file system 

and retrieved on command. Such a sequence of data is called a macro and is equivalent to the 
same commands received from the computer. Macros provide a convenient shorthand for long 
command sequences, e. g. complex label layouts.  

Macros can be loaded, deleted, and executed on command. 

Loading a macro 

The command to load a macro is: 

!L M "<name>" 

where <name> is the name to be assigned to the macro. The name can be any sequence 

of printable characters (except the " character), up to 24 characters, and must be enclosed in 
double quotes. If a macro with the same name already exists in the internal memory it will be 
deleted and the new macro loaded in its place. Case is not significant in macro names. 

The macro load command should be followed by the macro text. Loading is terminated by 

the terminate command: 

!L 

The 

!L

 command will terminate the macro load. If no macro is being loaded this command 

is ignored. 

Deleting a macro 

To delete a macro, just send the macro load command followed by the terminate command: 

!L M “<name>“ 
!L 

 

Executing a macro 

The command for executing a macro is 

!M "<name>" 

where <name> is the name of the macro to be executed. If the macro <name> does not 

exist, this command is ignored. 

Any command can be included in a macro, except the macro execute command (i. e. 

nested macros are not allowed). 

Auto macro 

If a macro with the name 

AUTO

 or 

auto

 is present in the file system, it will be executed 

automatically when the printer is switched on.
