Parameter
File;Prop The PROPS command will set the
file properties of a given file. The file
properties are a four letter, case
sensitive file descriptor. The
properties field can be used to
ensure that a file is used for its
intended purpose. Once properties
have been associated with a file,
they cannot be changed.
Filename The DEL command will mark a file
as deleted. The space the file
occupied will be freed the next time
the printer is powered up.
File;Prop The RUNFILE command will open
the file named File for printing. After
the PTX_END command is
processed, the contents of File will
get printed before any more data is
read from the host. If the Prop field
is present, RUNFILE will verify that
Prop matches the saved file
properties. Any mismatch will cause
the command to be ignored.
File;Port Reads the file named File out of the
flash file system and sends it to a
host computer via the Port I/O port.
Port is either 1284 (for reverse
nibble or byte mode transfer using
the parallel port), or SERIAL. NOTE:
if the Ethernet option is installed,
1284 is used to upload across the
network.
Kb For backwards compatibility.
Kb For backwards compatibility.
(none) Causes the printer to optimize the
Flash File System. The printer
automatically reboots during this
process.
(none) Exits the PTX_SETUP.
