Allocates the storage area in flash ROM on the CPU board.
[ESC] XF; aa, bb (, cc) [LF] [NUL]
aa: Size of the TrueType font storage area
00 to 14 (0 KB to 896 KB) | (in units of 64 KB) |
bb: Size for bit map writable character storage area | |
00 to 14 (0 KB to 896 KB) | (in units of 64 KB) |
cc: Size for BASIC file storage area |
|
00 to 14 (0 KB to 896 KB) | (in units of 64 KB) |
Omissible (If it is omitted, “0” is automatically set.)
(1)The storage area in flash ROM has a total capacity of 896 KB.
(2)If this command is received, the complete area in flash ROM on the CPU board is cleared.
(3)If this command is not sent, the storage area in flash ROM on the CPU board cannot be used.
(4)The storage areas are allocated in the following order – the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area. After these storage areas are allocated, the remaining area is used for the PC save area.
(5)If the sum of the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area, specified by this command, is 896 KB, the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area are allocated as specified. However, the PC save area is not allocated.
(6)If the sum of TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area, specified by this command, exceeds 896 KB, the TrueType font storage area is allocated first, as specified. Then, the remaining area is allocated to the bit map writable character storage area. If there is remaining area after the TrueType font storage area and the bit map writable character storage area are allocated, it is used for the BASIC file storage area. The PC save area is not allocated.
(7)When “00” (0 KB) is specified for the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, or the BASIC file storage area, this storage area is not allocated.
(8)When “14” (896 KB) is specified for any of the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area, all storage areas are used for the specified area. Therefore, other storage areas cannot be allocated. For example, if “14” is specified for the TrueType Font storage area, all storage areas are used for the TrueType Font storage area. The bit map writable character storage area, the BASIC file storage area, and the PC save area cannot be allocated.
