1.3 Begin Script - ^A)filename

This command used to mark the beginning of a script file. The script is saved into the printer's non-
volatile flash memory if a title or filename is placed after the command. The filename may contain to
a maximum of 20 characters in length and include any character from ASCII 0x20 and 0x41 to 0x7A
(alphabetical characters plus [\]_'and SP (space character)) with the exception of the caret (^)
character. Script filenames can not use a leading zero ("0") or 0x30 characters. A script that
contains a "filename" will only save the script and will not process and print. The "^D350)filename"
would be issued to recall and process the saved script. If the script does not contain a "filename",
the script is processed normally and will be volatile in nature.
For Example: The previous example script's first line is "^A)Sample Script" which would save this
script into the printer's flash memory (non-volatile) as "Sample Script".

1.4 Script Header

The script header consists of the "^D200)" command followed by nine parameters that control the
media layout as well as printer operation. The parameters must be separated by a delimiter, comma
by default, and are entered using the current unit of measure selected by the "^D564)" command.
The origin or the starting coordinate is always the lower left corner as the media exits the printer.
Issue this command from within a script file.
The script header temporarily overrides the individual header parameters when issued from within a
script file. The parameters may be defaulted to the current persistent value by not entering a value
between the delimiters. Each of the header parameters has an "^D6xx)" command equivalent that
when set outside a script file remains persistent.
For Example: "^D200)LSX,LSY,,DRM", would cause the "GAP" parameter to be defaulted to the
current "^D633)" value that was set outside a script file.
The persistent commands are helpful in setting the printer up for a basic configuration and then
override them within the script. A script header should contain values for each parameter if access
to the persistent command listings is not available.
