10.When the printer download port you want to use displays on the LCD, press the ENTER key. “WAITING DOWNLOAD / PORT” = <your selection> appears on the display.

11.Insert the optional font diskette into diskette drive A (or B) of the computer.

12.Start a command prompt session. (The Start Menu icon is usually labeled MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt.)

13.Make the diskette drive the active drive by typing:

A:<Enter> (if the diskette is in drive B, type B:<Enter>)

14.List the contents of the diskette at the command prompt by typing the following:

dir<Enter>

You will see a directory listing containing files with a .dwn extension, e.g., 94021.dwn, 94022.dwn, 94023.dwn.

15.Make note of the file name with the .dwn extension of each file you want to download to the printer.

NOTE: The numeric portion of the file name will match the numbers of the font typefaces listed in the PGL and VGL Programmer’s Reference Manuals and provide you with a description and print sample of the typeface.

16.At the command prompt type:

copy /b filename.dwn LPT1<Enter>

(where filename.dwn is file name you noted in step 15.)

NOTE: If you are loading the file using the LPT2 port on the computer, type the following command:

copy /b filename.dwn LPT2<Enter>

(where filename.dwn is a file you noted in step 15.)
