FSDOWNLOADCommand

The FSDOWNLOAD command is used to download fonts

or macros 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 0 to 231 - 1 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 size indicates 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 download
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.
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.
