^A ^D COMMAND
XX 59 Save Formats to RAM. (volatile)
The ^Axx selects the memory slot (1- 128) into which the format is to be
saved. A format file must be terminated by an ESC (HEX 1B) or "["(left
bracket) character to save the format.
Sample format saved to RAM slot #1:
100 Clear User RAM: This command clears all the downloaded fonts and graphics
that have been stored in RAM. This command does not affect fonts and
graphics that have been downloaded and stored into the FONT flash memory.
Use the ^D17 to erase FONT flash memory.
101 Send User RAM Available: The printer will send the number of free or
available bytes to the serial port (i.e. >192480<).
Use the D119 command for more detailed reporting.
XX 104 Save ASCII Fonts to RAM: The ^Axx specifies which memory file # (CGN #)
the FONT will use (1-255). This command should be used with an ASCII-HEX
file that contains only printable characters less than 80 HEX. These FONTS
are "extended non-compressed", meaning that they can be greater than 64KB
in size. This command supports fonts greater than 64KB.
