SPECIFIC

DATA

For the GL4xxe architecture, the command parameter can be 1 or 2.

The value refers to either the Memory Cartridge or the Flash memory on the main

PCB. This is assigned in USER MODE via the printer’s operation panel LCD.

In USER MODE, the menu item “Mem Select (CC1)” can be used to define the

numbers 1 and 2 to the memory cartridge and flash memory interchangeably.

So, if the memory cartridge has been assigned the value of 1, a <ESC>CC1

sequence will be defining the memory cartridge as the card slot to be used for

subsequent data storage.

If the flash memory was assigned a value of 1 instead, then a <ESC>CC1 sequence

will be defining the flash memory as the memory to be used for subsequent data

storage.
