File Format; Command Tool - Printronix T2N series User Manual

File Format

To format the Memory Device, use the File Format subsection. Simply select the target Memory
Device and click "Format".
This action deletes all files in that device. Confirm whether to perform this action (see above). As shown,
once the formatting process starts, the user is required to wait for the formatting to complete before
continuing to use the printer. For DRAM and FLASH, this is a quick process. For SD Card, this may take
several minutes. The user can click the "Read" button from the Printer Configuration tab to verify process
completion. If the "Read" operation is successful, the process is complete.
IMPORTANT: We recommend formatting the SD Card on the PC or laptop instead of the printer.

Command Tool

The third section of the Configuration Utility is the Command Tool, located in the top level tabs
(see Figure 36).
The Command Tool is a powerful feature, making it easy to perform the following tasks:

Create host data and jobs using one of twelve editors. Simply click within an editor window and
start typing. Users can switch between editors without losing any data within the editor.

Send data within the selected editor to the printer using the "Send Data" button. Sending data
from editors can be used to quickly test whether the printer is properly connected and receiving
data.

Load file contents into the selected editor using the "Load" button. This displays an "Open"
window to allow the user to browse for the target file. This method can be used to test a label with
the current configuration. Adjustments to the label or configuration can be made quickly and
retested as necessary.

Save data from the selected editor to a file using the "Save" button. After adjustments have been
made to a given label, they can be stored for later use. This opens a "Save As" window to select
the filename and location.
