Memory; Direct Mode - Intermec ESim v4.20 Programmer's Reference Manual

Chapter 1—General Information
In the Dump Mode, the output is the same label as produced by means
of a U command, but an extra line will be appended saying "now in
DUMP". Th en the printer waits for ASCII dump printing.
Send a string of characters or a label form to the printer and tap the Feed
key to produce a printout. Dump mode will also print control characters,
see character set table at the end of Chapter 9.
To return to normal mode, briefl y tap the Feed key. A label with the mes-
sage "out of DUMP" will be printed.

Memory

Th e fi rmware has memory allocation for print image buff er, form,
graphic, and external font memory. Th e fi rst time the printer is used, it is
automatically initialized to default settings, see Chapter 3.
Th e M memory command sets the image buff er, the form memory, and
graphic memory area. Th e remaining memory space, if any, is allocated
to the external font memory, which is intended for bitmap fonts down-
loaded using external software.

Direct Mode

You can print a label without using a predefi ned format by sending write
commands (text, bar codes, graphics, lines and boxes) to the printer after
having cleared the image buff er using an N command. Th e label remains
stored in the image buff er and can be printed over and over again by
sending new P print commands, until the buff er is cleared by an N com-
mand, or by retrieving and printing a Form (see FR command).
Th e Direct Mode is also used for retrieving and printing preprogrammed
label formats, for the issuing of global setup commands, for deleting
forms and graphics from memory, and to make the printer produce a
number of diff erent reports.
