Using Constants
Constants are replaced by a string or numeric value. Use constants to
generate unique log (or configuration) file names or in mathematical
expressions.
These constants are useful to determine
♦ a printer’s IP address, subnet mask, or location (perform a search).
♦ which file goes with a particular printer?
♦ when a log file was created based on time and/or date.
%IPA The IP address is substituted for %IPA and dots (‘.’) are replaced
with dashes (‘-‘).
%MAC The MAC address is substituted for %MAC and dots (‘.’) are
replaced with dashes (‘-‘).
%PUC The value of a Power-Up Counter is inserted in place of %PUC.
The counter is set to zero when the printer is turned on or reset
and incremented each time a log file is sent to the host.
%DAT The current date is substituted for %DAT and slashes (‘/’) are
replaced with dashes (‘-‘). The format is YY-MM-DD.
%TIM The current time is substituted for %TIM and colons (‘:’) are
replaced with dashes (‘-‘). The format is HH=MM=SS.
%DNT The current date and time are substituted for %DNT and slashes
(‘/’) and colons (‘:’) are replaced with dashes (‘-‘). The format is
YY-MM-DD_ HH=MM=SS.
%NSA Network subnet address. This is the logical AND of the printer's
IP address and the subnet mask. This is a decimal string,
separated by dots or a LONG in numeric operations.
%PNO The printer number found by the NextPrinter command.
%SNM The subnet mask as a decimal string, separated by dots or as a
LONG in numeric operations.
Note: The time comes from the network's time server (if available), not
from the file transfer server (FTP or TFTP).
Example "Logs/PX_%IPA_%DAT.log"
This line generates a filename similar to:
"Logs/PX_192-0-0-192_06-06-20.log"
