3–58 Configuring the Printer
34. When you see “WAITING FOR FILE DOWNLOAD” on the LCD, release
the ON LINE and PAGE EJECT keys.
35. If the software to be installed is already on the hard drive, change to the
drive and directory where the software resides, then skip to step 38. If
the software to be installed is on diskette, continue with step 36.
36. Insert the diskette containing the software to be installed into diskette
drive A (or B) of the computer.
37. Make the diskette drive the active drive by typing the following at the
DOS prompt:
A:
(If the diskette is in drive B, type B: )
38. Get the names of all of the logo, form, TIFF, setup, and font files that
you want to download by listing the contents of the directory; at the DOS
prompt type:
DIR
The downloadable files in the directory take the form file_name.dwn
Write down the complete name of each file with the .dwn extension.
39. When you see “WAITING FOR FILE DOWNLOAD” on the LCD, release
the ON LINE and PAGE EJECT keys, download the files to the printer
by using the DOS copy command. Enter the following at the DOS
prompt, for example:
copy /b file_name1.dwn+file_name2.dwn+... LPT1
NOTE: The above command example assumes that LPT1 is used as the
download port from the computer, and that the printer is already in
download mode, waiting for file download, before you copy the files
to the printer. If you are downloading the files using the LPT2 port
on the computer, substitute “LPT2” for “LPT1” in the above
commands.
40. While the files are being copied into memory, the printer LCD informs
you of the load process and status. (Messages are listed in the table on
page 3–60.)
41. Wait until the new files have successfully loaded into printer memory.
