Creating a Web Style Guide File

170

Memory and Storage

Web Style Guide files are designed to be placed on the printer's pffs, as
mentioned. Due to the memory limits of the pffs the environment
variables have very short name (4 bytes), which may make them less
user friendly to use, but this allows more space to be used for the value
of the variable.
There is also a size limit per file that is set to 256 bytes. In case the
Web Style Guide File you want to create is bigger than 256 bytes, the
content has to be split in more than one file.
The parser daemon will start looking for the first Web Style Guide
File which has to be named "webstyleguide.0", then it will try to read
the next file called "webstyleguide.1" and so on.
You can create Web Style Guide Files with a standard text editor and
then transfer them to the printer. Follow these rules when creating a
Web Style Guide File:
• The name has to be lowercase.
• The first file has to have extension ".0". The following files have to
have sequential extension number if one number is missing in the
sequence the parser will stop reading the files.
• The split point between one web style guide and the other cannot
be in the middle of a line. The last line of the file has to be
consistent in the syntax and the first line of the following web style
guide file has to be a new line.
• If variables are specified more than one time, the last value is the
one assumed.
Intermec recommends that you use the FTP server to transfer the
files.
