5. Use a standard DOS command to transmit data to the
printer. For example
COPY LABEL1.FMT COM1
This command transmits a file called "LABEL1.FMT" to
COM1.
Downloading from Other Computer Systems
Consult your system Operations Manual or administrator for
procedures to transmit data from your computer system.
Format Tracking
You create formats on your PC and download them to your
printer when you are ready to use them. The 9401 printer
stores formats in RAM, its receive buffer, and on memory
cards.
Restrictions Each format has a number. This number
enables the printer to track it. However, there are restrictions
on the duplication of these numbers.
Download Duplications. If you download a format with a
number that is the same as an already-stored format, the
printer erases the already-stored format.
This erasure occurs no matter what device the format exists
on. For example, if the memory card contains format 20, and
you download another format 20 to RAM, the printer still
erases the memory card’s format.
To avoid the erasure, either remove the memory card before
downloading the new format or change the number of the new
format.
