Paxar 9401 Editing and Reviewing Formats, Modifying Formats, Deleting a Format from the Printer

9. Editing and Reviewing Formats

You may need to edit formats after you have created them. You cannot modify or delete formats supplied with the printer.

Modifying Formats

You cannot modify a format while it is stored in the printer. Store your formats on your computer and modify them as necessary with your text editor or word processor.

Send the format to the printer again if you modify it.

NOTE: If using a word processor, be sure to edit all formats in unformatted ASCII or non-document mode.

If you delete fields or add fields to a format, remember to renumber all fields.

Deleting a Format from the Printer

You can delete a downloaded or memory card format using printer menus or a host. Memory card formats are available only on printers equipped with an optional memory card.

Using Printer Menus

Refer to your Operator's Handbook to delete a format using printer menus.
