Formatting the Memory Card
For operation, the memory card first has to be structured internally in a certain way. Normally,
memory cards are already pre-formatted in a suitable manner.
If the card you are using is not formatted at all, the printer will bring up one of the messages
"Unknown card" or "Structural err.". Then, you may format the card using one of the following
methods :
1. Formatting the card using the printer setup command "Format card" (see chapter 10).
2. Formatting the card using the printer interface and the printer command "Mf;name CR".
Writing on the Memory Card
There are also different methods to write onto a memory card.
The easiest way is to write on the card using the card drive of the printer and transfer the data
via interface.
For saving a label, you need to put the label design commands into "brackets" consisting of
"Ms"-commands :
Ms LBL;ABC Command to save a file called "ABC"
J |
H 100,0,T |
S l1;0,0,68,71,106 | Contents of the file "ABC"
T 10,10,0,3,pt15;Memory card |
A 1[NOPRINT] |
Ms LBL End of Save File command
After completing the commands the file "ABC" is stored on the card with all commands from
"J" to "A" which describe the label format.
The parameter [NOPRINT] used within the command A line will suppress the print of the label
while saving the file.
Whenever the file "ABC" is called up, exactly one label will be printed.
If you want to print the label in a variable quantity do not use the A command within the label
description.
