EN PJL File System Commands 9-3
FSAPPEND Command
The FSAPPEND command appends data to an existing file, or if the
file doesn't exist, creates the file and loads it with the given data.
Syntax:
@PJL FSAPPEND FORMAT:BINARY SIZE=integer
~NAME = "pathname" [<CR>]<LF>
<binary data><ESC>%-12345X
Parameters:
• SIZE = integer — The size variable indicates the number of
bytes in the file to be appended. The size indicates the number
of bytes immediately following the <LF> to the next UEL
command.
• NAME = "pathname" — The variable pathname is similar to
an MS-DOS filename, except it is not limited to eight
characters and a three-character extension. The pathname
may contain up to 100 Roman-8 characters per item in the
range 01 through 255, but the first and last characters must not
be a space character (character 32), or character 229. Each
item is delimited by the backslash “ \ ” character. If more than
one backslash character is used (such as \\\\ ), the file system
treats it as one backslash. The maximum number of
characters in a pathname is 255; the maximum number of
items is 9. The volume of the PJL file system is required in the
pathname (the volume range is 0, 1, and 2, depending on the
printer [prior to LaserJet 4000, the only valid volume was 0] —
see the examples on the following page).
Note For the FSAPPEND command, the pathname must be a file (not a
directory).
