Creating and Printing Command Files

A command file (*.kmd) specifies an image to be printed and the job settings to apply to that image.

Settings in the command file override settings in the Enqueue Print Job window. For example, the Enqueue Print Job window might specify one copy of queued images to be printed. A command file might override that setting and print three copies of a specified image.

The command file is generally written using MICROSOFT Notepad and saved with the extension .kmd rather than .txt. Command files contain a series of allowable commands that are communicated to the ML-500 Print Server (see Allowable command file commands). To work properly, command files must adhere to a specific convention and set of rules (see Command file rules).

To create a command file:

1.From the Start menu select Programs, select Accessories, then select Notepad.

2.Type the command lines you wish to use to print your image.

3.From the File menu select Save As.

4.Choose a location and file name for your file.

5.Click Save when complete.

6.From the desktop or WINDOWS Explorer, change the file extension from .txt to .kmd.

To send a command file to the ML-500 Print Server, copy the file into the Source Folder.

NOTE: You cannot use the Enqueue command to send a command file to the ML-500 Print Server.
