Files, including font files and images files, can be removed from
the RAM memory or from an inserted DOS-formatted memory card:
KILL "<filename>|CARD1:<filename>|CARD2:<filename>"
The name of the file must correspond exactly to the name returned
when using a FILES, IMAGES or FONTS command and be en-
closed by double quotation marks. Since files will be removed from
the RAM memory by default, it is not necessary to specify "RAM:".
If the file name is preceded by "CARD1:" or "CARD2:", the file
will be removed from the inserted memory card. Wildcards can be
used, e.g. KILL "*.prg", KILL "test.*", or KILL "*.*"
KILL cannot be used to remove images from the printer's volatile
memory.
You can copy a file to the RAM memory ("RAM:") or to a DOS-
formatted memory card ("CARD1:"|"CARD2:"). You cannot
copy to or from the ROM memory ("ROM:"). You can also use the
COPY command to give the copy a new name.
COPY "[CARD1:|CARD2:]<original name>" [,"[CARD1:|CARD2:]<new name>"]
The filename can be up to 30 characters. Since files will be copied
to the RAM memory by default, it is not necessary to specify
"RAM:".
Example:
COPY "CARD1:Logo.1","LOGO.1"
Binary files, e.g. font files, can be downloaded to the printer's RAM
memory using the FILE& LOAD command. Before the transfer can
be performed, the printer must be set up for two way communica-
1
tion . If a file is downloaded under the name "Autoexec.bat",
it will be used as a startup file.
FILE& LOAD"<file name>",<file size>
<file name>
<file size>
Upon receiving this command, the printer waits for the specified
number of bytes to be received with a 25 second timeout.

assign to the file, e.g. "CARD1:MYFILE.TXT".
