MEMORY INVENTORY COMMAND SUPPLEMENT
MEMORY INVENTORY COMMANDS - <INV> & <INV2>
The <INV> & <INV2> commands causes the printer to output data back to the PC in a readable format. This
data can be read by an application and displayed. Hyper Terminal was used for the example displayed below.
These commands produce a list of the downloaded logos, resident fonts, and downloaded soft fonts stored in
the printer’s memory. The <INV2> command (26/46 only) includes the listing of Resident True Type font files
and downloaded True Type font files. The format of the list is shown in the example below. It contains a
Section Header followed by field data. The field data is comprised of the following information for each file: ID#
of the file, whether it is in flash (FLSH) or ram (RAM) and its byte size (decimal) in memory. The ID# for the file
is the actual one you would use to print that file. For example, LD1 is logo 1, F10 is resident font 10 and SF1
would be soft font 1.
Notes: the size the file takes up in memory will NOT be the same size of the file as it was downloaded to the
printer. Some file types have data stripped from them as they are stored and thus will appear smaller than the
original size and others have data added and are therefore larger. The proper way to keep track of the memory
is to use the <S7> command before and after downloading a file to see how much memory the file occupies.
The <S7> displays the amount of free download space (in hex) available. Keep track of this file size so you can
identify that file in the list.
The list is sent out in a format that is easy to read on a computer or terminal screen. It contains control
characters along with the text to improve readability. This makes it harder for a program to parse the returning
information. Therefore, we will adhere to the following format: each field will end with a HT (9d) character. After
every third field, a HT, carriage return, line feed combination. Each section (logo, font) ends with a ETX (3d). If
nothing is in memory for a particular section, it will display the Section Header but no additional field data. More
sections may be added in the future, so the end of the list will be indicated by the EOT (4d) character.
