VARIABLE WRITE

Function

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.

V WRITE

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.
