Downloading
When downloading data, always place information in this order.
1. Check digit files
2. Format files
3. Batch data files
You need to send only a check digit file if a format following it
uses the check digit scheme. Once you send a check digit file,
it stays in the printer until you turn the printer Off.
The maximum number of formats that you can download to the
printer at one time is six. This number is also the maximum
that you can store in RAM at one time.
Also, the printer can hold no more than 16 packets. When the
printer receives its sixteenth packet, you will not be able to use
any of the first fifteen packets. If this happens, you will have to
restart the printer and download the packets again, following
the storage restrictions.
Downloading from a MS-DOS System
1. Find out which computer port the printer is connected to.
2. Make sure the printer display says "Print Mode - Ready."
3. Run a Mode command, if necessary, to set communication
values. For example, if the printer is connected to COM1,
this command matches the printer’s default settings.
MODE COM1:2400,N,8,1,P
4. If you are downloading to a memory card, make sure the
correct card is inserted in the printer and the write protect
is Off. Refer to your memory card instructions.
