Downloading an Emulation
From Disk
Optional emulations, such as LN03 and QUIC II, are available as
PostScript files on floppy disks. This section describes how to down-
load an optional emulation from the floppy disk to the printer’s hard
disk.
» Note: At least one hard disk (internal or external) must be installed on the
printer before you can download an emulation. If more than one hard disk is
available, the emulation automatically installs itself on the disk with the
most free storage space.
Once an emulation is downloaded, the only way to remove it is
to reformat the hard disk (using the Administration/Disk Opera-
tions/Format Disk menu or PS Executive Series Utilities).
Procedure
1 If necessary connect the PC to the printer’s parallel or serial
port.
2 Turn on the printer, and wait for
IDLE
to appear in the mes-
sage window.
3 Insert the emulation disk in your PC’s 3.5" disk drive, and
change to that drive (for example, if you’re using the A drive,
type
a:
↵ ).
4 Send the emulation to the printer’s hard disk.
n If your PC and printer are connected through the parallel port,
type
copy /b *.ps lpt #
↵
where
#
is 1 to 3. (/b refers to binary files.)
n If your PC and printer are connected through the serial port,
type
copy /b *.ps com #
