FILE& LOAD<br />
Chapter 2 Program Instructions<br />
Field of Application Statement for receiving and storing binary files in the printer's memory.<br />
Syntax FILE& LOAD[ 1 ,],[,]<br />
is optionally the number of bytes to skip before starting to<br />
read the file data.<br />
is the desired name of the file when stored in the printer's<br />
memory.<br />
is the size of the file in number of bytes.<br />
optionally specifies a communication channel OPENed for<br />
INPUT by the number assigned to the device.<br />
(Default: Std IN channel).<br />
Remarks This statement prepares the printer to receive a binary file on the standard IN<br />
channel (see SETSTDIO statement) or on another communication channel<br />
OPENed for INPUT.<br />
Another, but more cumbersome, way of obtaining the same result is to use the<br />
TRANSFER KERMIT statement.<br />
Image files and font files can also be downloaded using the IMAGE LOAD<br />
statement.<br />
As opposed to IMAGE LOAD and TRANSFER KERMIT statements,<br />
FILE& LOAD will not immediately install the fonts, but the font files will<br />
remain as files in the printer's memory until next power-up.<br />
The optional first parameter makes it possible to use this statement in MS-<br />
DOS (CR/LF problem).<br />
The name of the file, when stored in the printer's memory, may consist of max.<br />
30 characters including possible extension.<br />
The size of the original file should be given in bytes according to its size in<br />
the host.<br />
Before the FILE& LOAD statement can be used on a serial channel, the setup<br />
must be changed to 8 characters, CTS/RTS handshake. When a FILE&<br />
LOAD statement is executed, the execution stops and waits for the number<br />
of bytes specified in the statement to be received. During the transfer of file<br />
data to the printer, there is a 25 sec. timeout between characters. If a new<br />
character has not been received within the timeout limit, an error occurs<br />
(Error 80 “Download timeout”). When the specified number of characters<br />
have been received, the execution is resumed.<br />
Example 10 OPEN "uart2:" FOR INPUT AS 5<br />
20 FILE& LOAD "FILE1.PRG",65692,5<br />
30 CLOSE 5<br />
