File Download Sequence

Zebra printers process files sent to the printers immediately. The printers act on data in the

order that they receive the data. When using the SEND ALL file option to send file to the

printer, files will sort by numerics and then alpha characters.

Printer File Facts

• Files can contain programming to create a printer stored form, but do not have to

include a form in the programing data.

• The form name and file names do not have to match.

• Graphic (or logos) can be downloaded by the KDU Plus to the printer (file size must

be under 32Kbytes).

• Multiple forms, independent label commands, and printer configuration commands

can all be sent to the printer as a single file. Multiple files can also be sent. Remember,

sequence is important when sending commands to the printer.

• Files sent to the printer can disrupt KDU Plus to printer file transfers, such as soft

reset, print status commands, configuration changes, etc.

KDU Plus - File Deletion

The KDU Plus has two file catalog folder deletion methods to remove files stored in the KDU

Plus: DELETE FILE and DELETE ALL. To start the file deletion in the KDU Plus, select the

> DELETE FILE < to remove individual files or > DELETE ALL < to clear all files from

KDU Plus memory. Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to change the selection. Use the Enter

key to make your selection.

The KDU Plus will display the following screen to delete individual files. Upon entering

the Delete File operation, the KDU Plus will display file catalog folders that hold the files

stored in the KDU Plus. The first file folder name is bracketed with >FILENAME<. Use the

Left, Right, Up and Down Arrow keys to change the selection.

With the selection made, press the Enter key and the KDU Plus will ask you to verify the file

you are permanently deleting from the KDU Plus. Press Esc (Escape) key to cancel. Press the

Enter key to confirm file deletion.
