DTPL File Commands
4.0 Introduction
The printer supports three modes of file storage:
Resident: Files are stored in EPROM memory by the printer.
Permanent: Files are stored in Flash memory by the user.
Temporary: Files are stored in RAM.
All files downloaded to the printer are initially stored as permanent files. The storage mode can be changed with
one of the following DTPL commands:
Default Permanent file -
Default Temporary file -
Permanent file -
Temporary file -
The lower case storage mode commands change the printer’s default mode, while the upper case commands
modify the printer’s file storage mode until modified by the next storage mode command.
RESIDENT FILES
Resident fonts are printed with the command and resident logos are printed with the command.
Resident fonts can't be removed. Resident files are usually only factory installed.

preceded with a valid command. The first two soft fonts loaded would be referenced as and
, respectively. The first two logos loaded would be referenced as and , respectively.

stored in ram and will be lost if the printer is turned off.
