6. Entering Data Streams

You must use a computer to enter formats into the printer. This chapter explains how to transfer the format information from your Format Worksheet to a computer file. Later, you will learn how to send formats to the printer from the computer (see Chapter 8, "Printing").

Chapter 11, "Online Information," provides syntax and online information for this printer. Programmers may wish to refer to Chapter 11 to create and transmit data streams.

You will need these items.

a completed Format Worksheet

a computer terminal

an ASCII line editor or word processor.*

NOTE: If you use a word processor to create this file, be sure to create the file in "non-document" or unformatted ASCII mode.

*You can use Monarch 2095™ Printing System software to create formats for your 9401/9402 printer. Contact your Monarch representative for more information.

The examples shown in this chapter use a MS-DOS computer system.
