1.8.3 FILE NAME
A file name must follow 8.3 format (= short filenames) — at most 8 characters for
filename, and at most three characters for filename extension. The following characters
are unacceptable: “ * + , : ; < = > ? | [ ]
On 8700 Series, it can only display a filename of 1 ~ 8 characters (the null character
not included), and filename extension will be displayed if provided. If a file name
specified is longer than eight characters, it will be truncated to eight characters.
Long filenames, at most 255 characters, are allowed when using the mobile computer
equipped with SD card as a mass storage device. For example, you may have a
filename “123456789.txt” created from your PC. However, when the same file is
directly accessed on the mobile computer, the filename will be truncated to
“123456~1.txt”.
If a file name is not specified in ASCII characters, in order for the mobile computer to
display it correctly, you may need to download a matching font file to the mobile
computer first.
The file name is not case-sensitive.
