8.3 Copying Files

You can copy a fi le from any part of the printer's memory to another
part, provided it is not read-only. You can also use the COPY instruction
to give the copy a new name.
COPY "[<device>]<original fi le name>"[,"[<device>]<new fi le name>"]
The size of the name is max. 30 characters. If no memory device reference is given, the printer' s permanent
memory ("c:") is assumed.
Example:
COPY "card1:Logotype.1","LOGO.1" ↵

8.4 Downloading Binary Files

Binary fi les, for example font fi les in TrueType format, can be down-
loaded to the printer's permanent memory using a single instruction.
Before the transfer can be performed, the communication setup must be
changed to 8 characters, CTS/RTS handshake.
FILE& LOAD"<fi le name>",<fi le size>
<fi le name>
<fi le size>
The printer waits for the specifi ed number of bytes to be received with a 25 sec. timeout between
characters.

8.5 Downloading Image Files

Image fi les in .PCX format can be downloaded to the printer's memory
and installed using a single instruction. Before the transfer can be per-
formed, the communication setup must be changed to 8 characters,
CTS/RTS handshake.
IMAGE LOAD"<image name>",<fi le size>[,"<fl ag>"]
<fi le name>
<fi le size>
<fl ag>
The printer waits for the specifi ed number of bytes to be received with a 25 seconds timeout between
characters.

memory and thus will be deleted at power off or reboot.
