Flash Allocation

This command sets the allocation of Flash sectors between user data storage and logos/user-defined characters. This allocation is saved in the EEPROM of the printer and is saved across power cycles. The printer always keeps 64 Kbytes for User-defined characters.

n1 + n2 <= 5 (3M)

ASCII	GS " U n1 n
Hexadecimal	1D 22 55 n1 n2
Decimal	29 34 85 n1 n2
Default Value of n1	1 (see below)
Default Value of n2	1 (see below)

where:

•n1—the number of 64k sectors used for logos and user-defined characters.

•n2—the number of 64k sectors used for user data storage.

n1	n2	User Defined Character	Download Logo	User Storage Data
0	5	64 Kbytes	0 Kbytes	320 Kbytes
1	4	64 Kbytes	64 Kbytes	256 Kbytes
2	3	64 Kbytes	128 Kbytes	192 Kbytes

The 7168 Series II has been configured at the factory with 2M of Flash memory. If n1 + n2 is greater than the maximum number of sectors available, the command is ignored. Reissuing this command with different parameters will erase all sectors.

Example:   

MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&H1D) & Chr$(&H22) & Chr$(&H55) & Chr$(&Hn1) & Chr$(Hn2)

Exception

This is command is available only 7158 NAtive Mode and 7167 Native Mode.
