Intermec Fingerprint v8.70.0/v10.0.0 Programmer´s Reference Manual
Chapter —Program Instructions
Purpose Statement for saving a file in the printer’s memory or optionally in a
memory card.
Syntax SAVE[,P|L]
is the name of the file, optionally starting with a reference to a
directory (see DEVICES).
Allowed input: Max. 30 characters incl. extension.
Max. 26 characters excl. extension
P optionally protects the file.
L optionally saves the file without line numbers.
Remarks When a file is SAVEd, it must be given a designation consisting of max. 30
characters including extension. By default, the program will automatically
append the name with the extension .PRG and convert all lowercase characters
to uppercase. The name must not contain any quotation marks (").
By starting the file name with a period character (.), you can avoid having
it removed at a soft formatting operation, see FORMAT statement. Such a
file will also be listed differently, see FILES statement.
Files can only be SAVEd in the printer’s permanent memory ("/c"), the
printer’s temporary memory ("tmp:"), or in an optional CompactFlash
memory card ("card1:"). If a file with the selected name already exists in
the selected directory, that file will be deleted and replaced by the new file
without any warning. You can continue to work with a file after saving it,
until a NEW, LOAD, KILL, or REBOOT instruction is issued.
A protected file (SAVE ,P) is encrypted at saving and cannot be
LISTed after being LOADed. Program lines cannot be removed, changed,
or added. Once a file has been protected, it cannot be deprotected again.
Therefore, it is advisable to save an unprotected copy, should a programming
error be detected later on. If you are going to use an electronic key to
prevent unautorized access to a file, you should protect it.
A SAVEd program can be MERGEd with the program currently residing
in the printer’s working memory. To avoid line numbers automatically
assigned to the program from interfering with the line numbers in the current
program, you can choose to SAVE the program without line numbers
(SAVE ,L). See MERGE instruction.
Examples SAVE "Label14"
saves the file as “LABEL 14.PRG" in current directory.
SAVE "/c/Label14",P
saves and protects the file "LABEL14.PRG" in the permanent memory.
SAVE "card1:Label14",L
saves "LABEL14.PRG" without line numbers on a CompactFlash card.
