1-12 Getting Started
3. Set the PC’s communication parameters to match the printer’s
communication parameters. You can use the DOS MODE
command or a communications package that transfers ASCII
files.
Example: MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P
This command sets communication parameters for COM1 to 9600
baud, no parity, 8 word length, and 1 stop bit. It also retries
communications until the printer accepts the transmission.
If you use the MODE command, use DTR flow
control in the printer. If you’re using a
communications package, see its documentation.
4. Set the flow control to match on the printer and PC. To set it on
the printer, see the Operator’s Handbook. To set it on the PC,
use a communications utility.
5. Send the data stream file to the printer’s serial port. If you’re
using a communications package, see its documentation. If you
used the MODE command in step 3, use the COPY command:
Example:
COPY PRINT.DST COM1
This command sends the file PRINT.DST (containing a data
stream) to port COM1. The data stream can have any file
extension.
To download a data stream from another host, see the host’s
documentation.
