6.3.18 Storage Area Allocate Command [ESC] XF
Function Allocates the storage area in flash ROM on the CPU board.
Format [ESC] XF; aa, bb (, cc) [LF] [NUL]
Term aa: Size of the TrueType font storage area
00 to 14 (0 KB to 896 KB) (in units of 64 KB)
bb: Size for bit map writable character storage area
00 to 14 (0 KB to 896 KB) (in units of 64 KB)
cc: Size for BASIC file storage area
00 to 14 (0 KB to 896 KB) (in units of 64 KB)
Omissible (If it is omitted, “0” is automatically set.)
Explanation (1) The storage area in flash ROM has a total capacity of 896 KB.
(2) If this command is received, the complete area in flash ROM on the CPU board is
cleared.
(3) If this command is not sent, the storage area in flash ROM on the CPU board
cannot be used.
(4) The storage areas are allocated in the following order – the TrueType font storage
area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area.
After these storage areas are allocated, the remaining area is used for the PC save
area.
(5) If the sum of the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage
area, and the BASIC file storage area, specified by this command, is 896 KB, the
TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the
BASIC file storage area are allocated as specified. However, the PC save area is
not allocated.
(6) If the sum of TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage
area, and the BASIC file storage area, specified by this command, exceeds 896
KB, the TrueType font storage area is allocated first, as specified. Then, the
remaining area is allocated to the bit map writable character storage area. If there
is remaining area after the TrueType font storage area and the bit map writable
character storage area are allocated, it is used for the BASIC file storage area.
The PC save area is not allocated.
(7) When “00” (0 KB) is specified for the TrueType font storage area, the bit map
writable character storage area, or the BASIC file storage area, this storage area is
not allocated.
(8) When “14” (896 KB) is specified for any of the TrueType font storage area, the bit
map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area, all storage
areas are used for the specified area. Therefore, other storage areas cannot be
allocated. For example, if “14” is specified for the TrueType Font storage area, all
storage areas are used for the TrueType Font storage area. The bit map writable
character storage area, the BASIC file storage area, and the PC save area cannot
be allocated.
