Where {name} is the name of the batch file that you are going to create and {channel number} is the number of the port that you are going to connect to. For example:
COPY CON: CONNECT2.TXT [enter] <PM CONNECT 2>[function key 6][enter]
No spaces should be typed after the close angle bracket and before the function key 6 is pressed. When function key 6 has been pressed, a ^Z will appear on the screen at the end of the line. When the enter key is pressed, the screen will display:
1 File(s) copied
This indicates that a file {name}.TXT has been created that contains the software command text. It is not normally possible to use a word processor to create this file, since most word processors insert a line feed and carriage return at the end of each line. A file created with these extra characters could upset your printouts by inserting a blank line at the top of your printout page. This could cause laser printers to output a blank page and label printers to be offset by one line.
At the DOS prompt, type:
COPY CON: {name}.BAT [enter]
TYPE {name}.TXT > {pc printer port}: [function key 6] [enter]
Where {name} is the name of the batch file that you are going to create and {pc printer port} is the port that you wish to be routed to the required
COPY CON: CONNECT2.BAT [enter]
TYPE CONNECT2.TXT>COM1: [function key 6][enter]
As before, the screen will display “1 File(s) copied,” which indicates that a batch file {name}.BAT has been created containing the text “TYPE {name}.TXT>{pc printer port}:.”
To send the software command that you have created in {name}.TXT, type the batch file name at the DOS prompt. The above procedure can be used to create a batch file to send any software command to any of your PC’s ports.
