Initializing the Flash Memory and

PCMCIA Card

As of Firmware release V22.8.4, a new procedure is used to initialize the optional on-board Flash Menory device and the optional PCMCIA Card.

Prior to uploading new contents into the Flash Memory and/or the PCMCIA Card, it is first necessary to initialize these devices. This procedure is performed by pressing and holding all three left hand control keys inside the printer's front panel door while turning the printer power ON. The keys may be released anytime after the first front panel LED turns OFF. The Front Panel DATA LED will remain on until the initialization process is finished.

NOTE: Initialization will erase the current contents of both devices. Be sure to enable the Write Protect feature of the PCMCIA Card if you do not want to initialize this device.

Automatically Executed Format

Once the Power On Self Test is completed and any self test labels are printed, a check is made of the optional PCMCIA Memory Card and then the optional Flash Memory for the presence of a stored format named AUTOEXEC.ZPL. If an AUTOEXEC.ZPL format is encoun- tered, it is automatically recalled and the preformatted labels are printed.

If no AUTOEXEC.ZPL format is found, the printer enters the normal operating mode and waits for operator input from the front panel or label format data to be received from the host computer.
