DEFINE-FILE (DF) Utility

The DF command defines a file name for a file to be loaded into the printer. If a file with the same

name already exists in the printer, it will be overwritten with the new file. The contents of the file must

contain ASCII characters. To transfer binary files to the printer, use the utility provided in the Label Vista

application.

Format:

<!> {command} {filename.ext}

{data}

{terminator}

where:

{command}: DF

{filename.ext}: Name of file to be created.

{data}: The contents of the file. The file must be ASCII and cannot contain any {terminator} keyword.

{terminator}: Choose from the following:

PRINT: If the PRINT terminator is used, it is also written to the file.

END: If the END terminator is used, it is not written to the file.

DEFINE-FILE Example

Input:

! DF AUTOEXEC.BAT

! UTILITIES

SETFF 200 20

Note: Every time a le is created on the printer using the “! DEFINE-FORMAT...”, “! DF...” or the Label Vista application, for example, the le information

is written to ash memory. Unlike RAM, ash memory does not require battery for retaining data, and is immune to data corruption due to static

discharge. Although ash memory is superior to RAM for safe guarding le contents, it is limited to an average of 10,000 write cycles (i.e. le

creations). The user should invoke the le creation command so that the number of write cycles is not exceeded.
