^A ^D COMMAND
XX 131 Delete a FORMAT from FLASH.
^A0 deletes all FORMAT files in FLASH ^Axx deletes the FORMAT file stored
in FLASH slot (1 - 128)
This command deletes the Label FORMAT stored in Slot #xx of the FORMAT
storage bank in FLASH memory. Use this command to clear a FORMAT Slot
in FLASH before storing a new FORMAT into the Slot.
XX 134 Delete a GRAPHIC from FLASH.
^A0 deletes all GRAPHIC files in FLASH
^Axx deletes the GRAPHIC stored in FLASH Slot #xx
Valid values for Axx are A1 t? 255. The user selects the CGN #xx that will be
cleared.
The ^D119 command may be used to verify what memory slot #'s are
available in FLASH for storage.
xxyy 135 Save FONTS to FLASH. (See Chapter 7)
This command is not normally seen by the user. It is put into a FONT file by
the FONT converter program which generates a special ^Axxyy^D135 code
which is placed at the beginning of the FONT download file. The ^Axxyy tells
the printer the overall size of the file according to this format:
xx = the number of additional 64KB sectors in the FONT file set
yy = CGN # (1-255)
If xx = 00, then the FONT fits into one 64Kbyte sector of memory and there
are no additional sectors required for the FONT.
If xx > 00, then the FONT fits into one 64KB sector, and xx is the number
additional 64KB sectors needed for the FONT. The xx field>00 signals the
printer to get ready for a multi-sector FONT download. Each subsequent
download contains a header with the xx field decremented by 1. The last
download file has a header field xx = 00.
EXAMPLE: ^A0124^D135
FONT download for FLASH memory is coming. The download will be 2
sectors long, and the printer will access the FONT in FLASH memory using
CGN #24 and TCI #7. The ^A0124^D135 command will be right at the
beginning of the file. So the ^D135 command is never sent by itself, it's
always in a FONT download file, and the user never really sees it.
The FONT download file may be larger than 64Kbyte. The only limit on the file
size is the amount of memory available to hold the file. When the FONT file is
created, a specific reference number, called a CGN # is assigned to the file by
the user. After the FONT file has been downloaded and stored in FLASH, the
printer retrieves the FONT from FLASH by using its CGN # and TCI #7(for
FLASH). The FONT may be stored anywhere in the printer's FLASH memory;
it is NOT restricted to a specific FLASH memory location. The printer
