Chapter 3: Technical Reference
Initialize
This command initializes a floppy diskette for use with the D640.
Diskettes must already be formatted on the PC in IBM-PC compatible
format.
@PJL FSINIT VOLUME = "volume name" <LF>
If a password has been set, it must have been given prior to issuing
this command.
Make directory on disk
This command creates a new directory on the floppy diskette.
@PJL FSMKDIR NAME="pathname"<LF>
where
<pathname>
is a fully-qualified pathname.
For example:
@PJL FSMKDIR NAME= "C:\PCL5\USER\ACME" <LF>
Only one subdirectory can be created at a time, starting at the
highest level in the tree.
Creating a directory doesn’t make it your “current working
directory”.
Note
Other commands to read/write to hard disk include:
FSDOWNLOAD
and
FSDELETE
. For more information on these commands, see “Store a PCL
print file on the internal hard disk” and “Delete a file from disk” in the
D640 Technical Reference Guide
.
Using a disk file in a PCL job
The Alphanumeric ID command reads a file stored on the hard disk or
floppy disk. With this command, the D640 reads the file into memory
and treats this information as if it was part of the original print job. The
result is similar to an “include” statement in a high-level programming
language.
The D640 does not do any special processing of the file, see
“Recommended Contents of Binary Data” in the
D640 Technical
Reference Guide
