13.
When you see “WAITING FOR PROGRAM DOWNLOAD” on the LCD, at
the DOS prompt on the computer type:
A:\> COPY /B
FILENAME
.DWN LPT1 <Return>
NOTE: If you are loading the file using the LPT2 port on the computer, type
the following DOS command:
A:\> COPY /B
FILENAME
.DWN LPT2 <Return>
If you are loading the file using the serial port on the computer, type
the following DOS commands:
A:\> MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P <Return>
COPY /B
FILENAME
.DWN COM1<Return>
The 9600 baud rate is the only selection older versions of DOS can use.
The baud rate information entered in the above DOS commands must
match the selection you made in step 12.
You can download the optional font files one at a time by entering one file
name per DOS
copy
command or you can copy multiple files in one
copy
command.
To download one file at a time, enter the following at the DOS prompt, for
example:
A:\> COPY /B
FILENAME
.DWN LPT1<Return>
To download multiple files, enter the following at the DOS prompt, for
example:
A:\> COPY /B
FILENAME
1.DWN+
FILENAME2.
DWN+… LPT1<Return>
NOTE: If you download one file at a time, you will need to cycle power and
hold the PAUSE + FEED Keys down for each file because the printer
resets itself after each file. If you have multiple files to download, it is
recommended that you follow the instructions for downloading
multiple files.
14. While the font file is copied into flash memory, the printer LCD informs
you of the load process and status. (See Table 6 below.) When the new
file is successfully loaded into memory, the printer will reset itself and go
Online.
15. You can verify that the optional fonts have been downloaded, by
performing a configuration printout or by entering the configuration menu
and viewing the font files on the LCD. The new files will appear under
Installed Fonts in the FONT MEMORY menu with the same part number
file name you selected, but with an AGFA prefix.
NOTE: The optional font typefaces cannot be selected via the printer control
panel, they can only be selected via software command from the
host.
16. Press the PAUSE key to place the printer Online and return the printer to
normal operation.
