usb.host.read_list

usb.host.read_list

This command scans the mounted usb mass storage device for non-user-restricted files and displays the files in a list.

Setvar

To scan the mounted usb mass storage device for non-user-restricted files and displays the files in a list:
! U1 setvar "usb.host.read_list" "value"
Values
  • "fill_store"
     The printer creates a list of all of the top-level files that are readable on a connected mass storage device. (
    .ZPL
     and
    .XML
     files)
  • "store"
     The printer copies the current file (the file listed on the display) or all eligible files if
    SELECT ALL
     is displayed from the USB mass storage device to the printer’s
    E:
     drive.
    "store"
     does an exact byte-for-byte copy of the file being stored. ZPL files that are transferred to the printer using the “store” command are NOT prepared to be used with a recall format command (^XF). See XREF Character Substitution (in Mirror) for the modifications necessary to prepare a ZPL file for use with ^XF. If the ZPL file contains a ^DF, the appropriate way to place it on the printer’s memory is to use the
    "print"
     command, below.
  • "fill_print"
     The printer analyzes the content of the USB mass storage device and creates a list of files that may be printed. (
    .ZPL
     files only)
  • "print"
     The printer prints the current file (the file listed on the display) or all eligible files if
    SELECT ALL
     is displayed
  • "clear"
