Batch Files

The printer flash file system can be used to store a start-up file titled AUTOEXEC.BAT. When the

printer is powered on, this file will be searched for and, if present, the printer will execute the commands

found in this file. The following example shows how to create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file and load it into the

printer.

AUTOEXEC.BAT Example

! DF AUTOEXEC.BAT

! UTILITIES

SETLP 5 1 40

Line one uses the (D)efine (F)ile command to label this file as AUTOEXEC.BAT. The end of an

AUTOEXEC.BAT file is indicated by a PRINT command as shown in line four.

When this file is executed, the printer will select font number 5, size 0 as the default front for line printer

mode, and the printer will advance 40 dots for every carriage-return (0x0d) received.

Note: Every time a le is created on the printer by using the “! DEFINE-FORMAT...” or “! DF...” the le information is written to ash

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

static discharge. Although ash memory is superior to RAM for safeguarding le contents, it is limited to an average of 10,000 write

cycles (i.e. le creations). The user should use the le creation commands only when needed to ensure this write cycle limit is not

exceeded.
