54 Xerox Phaser 5400 Laser Printer
Hard Disk Drive and Memory (DRAM and Flash ROM)
Fonts downloaded to the hard drive or flash memory are stored in the PCL Fonts
directory. Macros downloaded to the hard drive or flash memory are stored in the
PCL Macros directory. PCL fonts, forms, and macros stored on the hard disk remain
there until you delete them; they are not cleared from the hard disk or flash memory
when the printer is powered off. You can only delete a macro from the hard disk if
you know the name of the macro. Since you cannot print a list of macros as you can
for fonts, it is important to keep a record of all downloaded macros. Then, use the
PJL FSDELETE command to delete fonts, forms, and macros.
“Temporary” fonts/forms/macros downloaded to printer memory on a job per job
basis are cleared from the printe r's memory after each job.
“Permanent” fonts downloaded to printer memory are cleared from memory
whenever the printer is powered off. When the printer switches PDLs, its automatic
context saving feature saves all fonts and macros.
PJL commands
You can use the PJL command FSDOWNLOAD to download fonts, forms, and macros to
the printer’s disk or flash memory. You can use the PJL command FSDELETE to delete
them.

Using the FSDOWNLOAD command

The FSDOWNLOAD command is used to download fonts,forms,andmacros to the printer’s
file system. If a file with the same name exists, the downloaded file overwrites it.
Syntax @PJL FSDOWNLOAD FORMAT:BINARY [SIZE=int] [NAME = “pathname”] [<CR>]
<LF><binary data><ESC>%-12345X
Parameters Parameter Functional Range Default
SIZE=integer 2,147,483,647 N/A
NAME=”pathname” ASCII 01 thru 255 N/A
SIZE = integer — The size variable indicates the number of bytes in the file to be
downloaded, the number of bytes immediately following the <LF> to the next UEL
command.
NAME = “pathname” — where “pathname” = 0:\pcl\fonts\<fontname> to
download a font named “fontname” to the printer
or = 0:\pcl\macros\<macroname> to downlo ad a macro named “macroname” to the
printer.
<fontname>/<macroname> can be any combination of up to 40 alphanumeric
characters.
<binary data> — This is the binary file data to be downloaded, such as font files and
macro data.
Note: Use of 1 rather than 0 in the “pathname” will download the font or macro to
the Flash memory rather than to the hard drive.
