Downloading from an MS-DOS PC

1.

Check which port on the host the printer is connected to.

2.

Make sure the printer display says "Print Mode - Ready."

3.

Run a MODE command on the host, if necessary, to set
communication values. For example, if the printer is
connected to COM1, this command matches the printer’s
default settings.

MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P

4.

Use a standard DOS command to transmit data to the
printer. For example

COPY LABEL1.FMT COM1

This command transmits a file called "LABEL1.FMT" to
COM1.

Downloading from Other Hosts

Consult your System Operations Manual or Administrator for
procedures to transmit data from your host.
