PRINTER SETUP

VARIABLE WRITE

Function Writes the current variable values to nonvolatile

storage. Values in effect when VARIABLE WRITE is

executed are retained in memory while the printer

power is off.

Implicit Form

VARIABLE WRITE

V WRITE

Parameters None

Comments You do not need to use this command every time

you want to permanently change a VARIABLE

value. The printer retains VARIABLE values as long

as its power is on, and a single VARIABLE WRITE

will permanently store the entire set of VARIABLE

values. Excessive use of VARIABLE WRITE

increases label processing time and may also

increase the risk of nonvolatile RAM failure in some

early printers.

NOTE: Follow these rules with respect to VARIABLE

WRITE:

• Use the VARIABLE WRITE command only

in dummy (non-printing) label formats.

• Do not use this command in stored label

formats.

• Only use the VARIABLE WRITE

command with other VARIABLE

commands. Mixing normal commands

with VARIABLE WRITE can corrupt the

contents of the nonvolatile RAM in some

printers.
