Printer Memory Management and Related Status Reports
Printer Memory Management and Related Status Reports
The printer has various memory resources and storage for building and printing.
To help you manage printer resources, the printer supports a variety of format commands to manage memory, transfer objects (between memory areas, import, and export), object naming, printer tests, and provide various printer operating status reports. They are very similar to the old DOS commands like DIR (directory listing) and DEL (delete file). The most common reports are also part of the Zebra Setup Utility and ZebraDesigner ™ Windows driver.
It is recommended that a single command be processed within this type of format (form). A single command is easily reused as a maintenance and development tool.
