Creating DOS Batch Files for Downloading

The printer erases online formats from memory whenever you turn it Off. If you created your own formats, you need to download them to the printer when you want to print supplies.

Formats stored on a memory card remain on the memory card until you delete them or overwrite them with a new format identified by the same number. There is no need to download memory card formats every day.

If downloading from an MS-DOS system, you can create batch files to set communication values and download formats. It is a good idea to create a subdirectory to hold your format files for this printer.
