Chapter 3 - Managing Files Commands for Creating and Managing Program Files Program files are used to run and control the printer and to produce labels or other printouts. A program file is always composed of numbered lines, although the numbers may be invisible during the editing process. For more information, see "About Programming Mode" on page 13. A startup file (also called an autoexec-file) is a program file that automatically runs when the printer is switched on. For more information, see "Creating a Startup Program" on page 30. Use these Fingerprint commands for creating and handling program files: • LOAD copies a specified program file to the printer working memory. • LIST lists the program file in the working memory to the standard OUT channel, usually the screen of the host. • MERGE adds a copy of a specified program file to the program file currently residing in the printer working memory. • RUN executes the instruction in the program file. Must be issued in Immediate Mode (not in a numbered line.) • SAVE saves a copy of the program file in the current directory or, optionally, in another specified directory. If a file with the same name already exists in that directory, it is replaced by the new file. • NEW clears the working memory to allow a new program file to be created. • COPY copies a file to another name and/or directory. • KILL deletes a file from the printer permanent memory ("/c"), the printer temporary memory ("tmp:"), or from a DOS-formatted memory card ("card1:".) Commands for Creating and Managing Data Files Data files are used by program files for storing various types of data and can be divided into several subcategories: • Sequential input files • Sequential output files • Append files • Random access files Use these Fingerprint commands for creating and handling data files: • OPEN creates and/or opens a file for a specified mode of access and optionally specifies the record size in bytes. • CLOSE closes an OPENed file. • REDIRECT OUT creates a file to which the output data will be redirected. • TRANSFERSET sets up the transfer of data between two files. • TRANSFER$ executes the transfer of data between two files according to TRANSFERSET. 36 Intermec Fingerprint Developer's Guide
