Writes the current variable values to nonvolatile
storage. Values in effect when VARIABLE WRITE is
executed are retained in memory while the printer
power is off.

Parameters None
Comments
You do not need to use this command every time
you want to permanently change a VARIABLE
value. The printer retains VARIABLE values as long
as its power is on, and a single VARIABLE WRITE
will permanently store the entire set of VARIABLE
values. Excessive use of VARIABLE WRITE
increases label processing time and may also
increase the risk of nonvolatile RAM failure in some
early printers.
NOTE: Follow these rules with respect to
VARIABLE
WRITE
:
• Use the VARIABLE WRITE command only
in dummy (non-printing) label formats.
• Do not use this command in stored label
formats.
• Only use the VARIABLE WRITE
command with other VARIABLE
commands. Mixing normal commands
with VARIABLE WRITE can corrupt the
contents of the nonvolatile RAM in some
printers.
