9-12 Printing Files

Printing Files

You can print a single file or you can print an entire file group. For

instructions, see Printing a single label on page 11-4, Printing

labels in a label set on page 11-6, and Printing labels in a file

group on page 11-7.

Transferring Files

You can transfer templates and other kinds of files from a PC to your

standalone system. This is useful in instances where you need to be able

to use a file that normally resides on your PC on your printer when it is

not connected to a PC.

Important! We recommend that only experienced PC users attempt

file transfers from a PC to the standalone printer. The

underlying file structures are complex and you risk

losing data if your attempt is unsuccessful.

See Transferring Files from a PCo n page 12-8 for information.

Using My Templates

The My Templates option on the Main Menu screen appears only if

you or someone in your organization has previously downloaded, copied,

or moved a file to your system using Microsoft ActiveSync. (ActiveSync

is software your system uses to communicate with your PC, when you

have one connected.) Otherwise, you will not see it on the Main Menu.

See CHAPTER 12: Connecting to a PC, beginning on page 12-1 for

information about ActiveSync.
