Preparing the Memory Card
In order to use the memory card the first time, the card must be formatted for
the printer to read and write data. Often the cards are preformatted for use
with the printer.
If you try to access a card, which is not formatted, the printer will display an
error on the navigator pad. If such an error occurs, you must format the card
using one of the following methods:
1. Format the card sending the software command "Mf;name CR" (see the
Programming Manual for more information) through the connected
interface.
2. Format the card using a FlashCard drive on a PC.
3. Format the card using CABLABEL.
Writing to the Memory Card
There are different methods to write formats to a memory card.
The most secure and practical method to write to the memory card is the
printer's interface.
For saving a label to the memory card using direct programming, place the
"Ms" command at the beginning and end of your format:
Ms LBL;ABC
Command to save a file called ABC"
J
|
H 100,0,T
|
S l1;0,0,68,71,104
|
Contents of the file "ABC"
T 10,10,0,3,pt15;Memory card |
A 1[NOPRINT]
|
Ms LBL
End of Save File command
After processing the commands, the format "ABC" is stored on the memory
card
The [NOPRINT] parameter after the A command suppresses the printing of a
label while saving the file to the memory card. Whenever the file "ABC" is
accessed from the memory card, one label will be printed. If you want the
operator to specify an amount of labels to be printed, move the A command
statement after the second "Ms" command in the example above.
