Example:
To send the file (data) TEST.TXT on drive C, enter the following at the DOS prompt (C:\):
COPY TEST.TXT PRN
The file is written onto the memory card given a destination name (also referred to as a partition name) which the printer automatically assigns one after another as follows:
DataS001 (first data), DataS002 (second data), DataS003 (third data),
... DataS127 (last data)
In the example above, if the file TEST.TXT is the first data to be writt n onto he memory card, the destination name will be DataS001 .
By using the PRESCRIBE II ICCD (read/write memory card) command to wr te data to a memory card, you can change the destination name to be the same as the or gi al name or any other name you desire.
As the printer receives data, the message display changes to ProcessWaiting, then
when the end of the data is received, the message display changes to | . |
