7. Printer control commands
It is possible to issue simple commands to the Memory Card and RAM Disk from the MS-DOS Prompt in Windows.
7-1 Using printer control commands
A printer control command line includes "!R!" (Command operation start), as well the actual commands and parameters that are to be
implemented and that are entered after that.
The basic configuration of a printer control command line is as follows:
[Example] To delete the print data entitled "SAMPLE.txt" from the Memory Card
ECHO !R! RWER D,A,2,"SAMPLE.txt"; EXIT;>LPT1
A B
A: DOS command
B: Command operation start
C: Command ("RWER D" is the command to delete data)
D: Parameters ("A" refers to the Memory Card, "2" refers to the type of data [in this case print data] and "SAMPLE.txt" is the name of the
corresponding partition)
E: Command operation end
F: Printer connection port (Network: "PRN", Local: "LPT1", etc.)
CAUTIONS
• When issuing DOS commands in the Japanese input mode, ALWAYS use JIS ASCII (JIS C6220) characters. Kanji Code and Kanji Half-
Space Code input will not work.
• Enter all commands in uppercase (capital) letters.
• Be sure to enter a semi-colon (;) at the end of each standard command [shown as "C" in the example above] (or after the corresponding
parameter, if included), and separate each individual parameter with a comma (,).
• Be sure to enter a space before and after the "!R!" command, as well as before "EXIT;".
7-2 Formatting the Memory Card
Perform the following procedure when you want to initialize the Memory Card from your computer.
* The Memory Card is initialized from the operation panel on the copier itself. Refer to "6-2 Formatting the Memory Card" on page 6-1 for
information on the appropriate procedure.
IMPORTANT!
WARNING;: Initializing the Memory Card will erase all data in the card. Make sure that you want to initialize that Memory Card before
starting the procedure.
Procedure
1 Insert the Memory Card that you want to initialize into the Memory Card slot.
2 Open an MS-DOS Prompt in Windows.
3 Type in the command to format the Memory Card and then press the ENTER key.
C:\WINDOWS>ECHO !R! RWER F,A; EXIT;>LPT1
4 Once the Memory Card is formatted, the "FORMAT INFORMATION" report will be printed out.
