Advanced File Handling Information
The Standard Datamax Printer leaves the factory with EFIGS loaded into module Y. At this point, Module Y is
LOCKED and will only accept additional Language Downloads.
After downloading a language update, Module Y is left UNLOCKED until the printer is reset or power is cycled. In this
state, Module Y will accept font, image and label format downloads. The module will also honor the Clear Module
request. Therefore, following an update it is recommended that a reset be performed to lock the module; otherwise, a
software package may ‘Clear All Modules thus destroying the new menu language(s).
Module Y can be UNLOCKED by sending this DPL string: <STX>KpY0.
To restore the factory generated EFIGS image, download the file 832296.08A to the printer. This file is located on the
Datamax FTP site. The letter at the end of the file name (e.g., A) specifies the revision. The latest revision will be
available on the FTP site.
Downloading the same language twice will automatically delete the first occurrence, but will not free the memory space.
Use the Pack Module feature (see Section 5.1.4) or reload the FIGS file to free the space.
Deletion of the selected language will set the printer to English.
The total number of languages that the printer can now accept is limited to 10, but this number is dependent upon the
size of each language translation. The translation size will vary with the number of messages that are translated for that
particular language. Current complete language files are about 7,000 bytes each but with product growth, the total
number of languages is expected to drop to seven.
