Chapter 4: Using the Printer’s Hard Disk
l
The contents of binary data are not checked by the printer. It is up
to you to send valid data. Binary data can contain any number of
<UEL> and or <EOL> chars; they are not a job boundary during
FSDOWNLOAD. If the data does contain <UEL> or <EOL> and
SIZE is not specified correctly, the binary data is parsed as PJL
commands (which might not be desirable). You must make sure
the SIZE is given correctly for the accompanying data stream. If
the SIZE has been given correctly and there is more binary data
supplied, the excess data is ignored. The next PJL command
starts after the first <UEL> command following the binary data.
l
Once a file is stored on disk, it is available to all subsequent jobs
for re-use.
Note
Do not store a font or macro with a PCL ID number embedded in it.
The ID number should be assigned by the job stream when it retrieves
the macro from disk.
Recommended Contents of Binary Data
Font
PCL soft font format, starting with <ESC>)s#W. It is up to the
application to download fonts using the header format appropriate to
the D640.
Macro
PCL macro, starting with <ESC>&f0X (start macro) and
ending with <ESC>&f1X (stop macro). The printer will not append
these PCL commands to the data stream.
Symbol-set
A user defined symbol set, starting with <ESC>*c#R
(symbol set ID Code). Although this is the recommendation, the ID
Code could be defined in the job, which would mean that the data
should start with <ESC>(f#W (define symbol set).
Soft pattern
A user defined pattern, starting with <ESC>*c#W (user
defined pattern).
Delete a File From Disk
This command removes a file from the printer’s hard disk.
@PJL FSDELETE NAME="pathname" <EOL>
Some notes about this command include:
l
White space can be present around the equal sign.
l
Quotes must be provided to delimit pathname.
l
The pathname is full pathname. No default.
l
If the file is a “delete-protected” file, it is not deleted.
