The following example demonstrates how to send data from the computer to a memory
card. Typically, partition names should be specified when writing to the card. If omitted,
the partition names will be assigned automatically as follows:
DataS001, DataS002 ... DataSnnn.
Writing data to a memory card:
To write the contents of file DATA123.DOC to partition DATA123 on the memory card:
1. Verify the printing system’s message display indicates Ready.
2. Enter the following at the DOS prompt:
C:\>ECHO !R! RWER W, A, 2, ’DATA123’; >PRN
The message display will change from Ready to Processing, and then to Waiting.
The printing system is now ready to receive data, so send the file from the computer to
the printing system. Do not press the FORM FEED key to clear the waiting message.
3. To do this, enter the following at the DOS prompt:
C:\>COPY DATA123.DOC PRN
4. The message display will change to Processing as the file is written to partition
DATA123 on the memory card. Next, check that the message display has changed to
Waiting, and then send a WRED command, as follows:
C:\>ECHO WRED; EXIT, E; >PRN
The WRED command terminates writing to the memory card. Alternatively, you can
terminate writing by pressing the FORM FEED key on the printing system front panel.
Note that in W mode the ICCD command is accompanied by a form feed.
If a partition name conflict occurs when writing a new partition to a memory card, the
name of the new partition will be modified as follows:
• If a partition name of 11 characters or less conflicts with an existing partition name,
‘Snnn’ (nnn represents a numeric value) is appended to the partition’s name.
• If a partition name of 12 or more characters conflicts with an existing partition name,
the 12th and following characters of the new partition’s name will be replaced by
‘Snnn’ (nnn represents a numeric value).
