5-54 428T Operator’s Manual - 880037-0141
The printer may be configured through software switch #2 (^D22 command) to automatically
process a specific format from the FLASH memory (power up format) when the printer is
turned “ON.” The printer treats the stored formats as if they were sent through the serial
port.
^A
^D COMMAND
XX 54 Send Format from RAM to Port: The ^Axx specifies the slot number
(1-128) where the format file is stored in RAM. This may be used to read what
is stored in each memory slot.
XX
58 Process Format Saved in RAM: The ^Axx selects which stored format to
process (1-128). This command is processed in the same was as if the
format was sent directly to the port.
XX
59 Save Formats to RAM. (volatile)
The ^Axx selects the memory slot (1- 128) into which the format is to be
saved. A format file must be terminated by an ESC (HEX 1B) or “[“(left
bracket) character to save the format.
Sample format saved to RAM slot #1:
^A1^D59
^D57
5,1280,900,20,40,7,0,1,405,0,0
1,640,650,12,1,5,0,4,2,2,,,,,0

XX 66 Clear Single FORMAT Stored in RAM: The ^Axx specifies which memory
slot to clear (1-128). This command only functions with FORMAT files and
not with downloadable fonts and/or graphics.
100 Clear User RAM: This command clears all the downloaded fonts and graphics
that have been stored in RAM. This command does not affect fonts and
graphics that have been downloaded and stored into the FONT flash memory.
Use the ^D17 to erase FONT flash memory.
101 Send User RAM Available: The printer will send the number of free or
available bytes to the serial port (i.e. >192480<).
Use the D119 command for more detailed reporting.
XX 104 Save ASCII Fonts to RAM: The ^Axx specifies which memory file # (CGN #)
the FONT will use (1-255). This command should be used with an ASCII-HEX
file that contains only printable characters less than 80 HEX. These FONTS
are “extended non-compressed”, meaning that they can be greater than 64KB
in size. This command supports fonts greater than 64KB.
XX 105 Delete Graphics from RAM
^A0 deletes ALL graphics from RAM.
