^D341)type
This command used to list the files stored in the printer's flash memory. The list reports the
files name (user file CI), any associated comments, file type, and the file size of all file types.
This command should only be issued from outside a script file and not entered from a script
file. Issuing this command with the "?" as the argument also causes the listing to be
generated. The ^D341) command may contain a search string type to limit a search for
specific file types. The valid parameters for "type" listed below.
1
List all file types
2
List only graphic file types
4
List only bitmapped font file types
5
List only script file types

^D342)filename
This command is used to delete a stored font, graphic, or script. The filename must match a
saved file name and/or contain the wild card character (*) for the stored file to be properly
deleted. This would include any space characters that were entered when saving the file.
The "^D341)" command is useful in determining the exact filename and the valid wild card
structure is listed below.
*x
- deletes filenames that end with character string x.
x*
- deletes filenames that begin with character string x.
x*y
- deletes filenames that begin with character string x and end with string y.
*x*
- deletes filenames where character string x is found anywhere in the filename.

This command lists the contents of the specified script that has been saved in the printer's
flash memory to the active port.
2.3.16
^D345)filename
The "^D345)" command causes the printer to take the ensuing data transfer as a binary file
upload from the host without saving to the printer's flash memory. The file is volatile in
nature and will lost when power is cycled. The printer will currently accept the following file
types: 1-bit (monochrome) BMP graphics, MCF (Microcom Corporation Converted Font),
and user created script files. The file transfer can be sent in uncompressed or PKZIP
compatible compressed formats. A ^E (0x05) character may be sent to the printer during
the download without any negative effects towards the file size. The "^D345)" command
has two parts, which are the file name and file size.
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
