Reference
• Files configurable with this command are the graphic files (VEC format) saved in the laser marker.
• If the object type set in the specified object number is not the graphic (VEC), the laser marker returns the negative
response.
• This command cannot be used for other than VEC format graphic file, such as DXF, BMP, JPEG or HPGL etc.
• Refer to "2-3-6 Character data input method" (P.38) for details on the character input method and character types with
input restrictions.
• Graphic file names are not case-sensitive.
• If the file name contains both one-byte characters (in ASCII code) and two-byte characters (in Shift JIS or GB 2312
code), specify them exactly as they are by using two types of the character code.
• If the file name contains any characters which belong to the non-supported character code, the file cannot be selected
by the command.
• Use the object creation (CRE) command if you want to create new graphic objects.
