6. Entering Data Streams
You must use a computer to enter formats into the printer.
This chapter explains how to transfer the format information
from your Format Worksheet to a computer file. Later, you will
learn how to send formats to the printer from the computer
(see Chapter 8, "Printing").
Chapter 11, "Online Information," provides syntax and online
information for this printer. Programmers may wish to refer to
Chapter 11 to create and transmit data streams.
You will need these items.
• a completed Format Worksheet
• a computer terminal
• an ASCII line editor or word processor.*
NOTE: If you use a word processor to create this file, be
sure to create the file in "non-document" or
unformatted ASCII mode.

You can use Monarch 2095™ Printing System software to
create formats for your 9401/9402 printer. Contact your
Monarch representative for more information.
The examples shown in this chapter use a MS-DOS computer
system.
