Load File is the Printer Control (see Section 7.3 – Printer Control) that

 

allows you to download files such as firmware, labels, and MCL projects

 

to your Datamax printer.

 

This section describes what kinds of files may be loaded into the

 

Datamax printer(s). It also discusses the file load options.

As shown below, when you click the Load File icon, a Load File / Control dialogue box is displayed with the possible Load actions.

Each Load action also includes Load options special to the given Load type.

Note: The Actions available at any given time depend upon the physical connection to the printer and the printer Class involved. For more information see Appendix F – Connectivity / Function Matrix.

Note: In the following sections, you are frequently prompted to enter a Target Name. This is what the file you are downloading will be called when it is loaded on the printer.

In each case, the Target Name:

ƒIs allowed to have a maximum of 16 characters

ƒDoes not allow spaces or special characters

Note: In the following sections, you are frequently prompted to enter a

Location. If you select <Default>, the file is stored wherever the MCL-

Client is stored. This is typically in Flash memory.

Note: Different printer models have different memory module assignments and functions. If you are loading a file or applying a control to several printers at once, be sure that the given operation is suitable for all the selected printers.
