Creating Online Data Streams
Create data streams for your 9474 printer using a standard text
editor, such as EDLIN or TSO.
If you use a word processor to create data streams, make sure to
save the file in text-only or unformatted mode.
Transmitting Online Data Streams
Your printer must be in Online Mode before it will accept data
from your computer.
◆
Select Online from the Select Operating Mode menu.
◆
Press e . You’ll see
Online Mode Ready:
Your printer is now ready to accept data.
Send data to the printer just as you would send any print data to a
printer from your computer.
For example, if you have a file named FORMAT1.DAT on an
MS-DOS system, you could send the data to your printer with
these commands:
MODE COM1:2400,N,8,1,P
MODE LPT1:=COM1
PRINT FORMAT1.DAT
This set of commands would send the file FORMAT1.DAT to a
printer connected to COM1 of an MS-DOS computer.
Format and graphic structures can be sent at any time.
Formats or graphics used by batch data must be sent before the
batch data referencing them. Any batch sent without a previously
defined format is ignored, generating an error.
