Downloading Optional Font Files to Flash Memory
Optional font files are stored on a 3.5 inch floppy diskette that contai ns file
names comprised of a part number with a .dwn extension. You will insert the
diskette in your IBM-compatible computer and use either the parallel or serial
port to download the desired font file(s) to the printer’s flash memory.
1. Set the printer power switch to O (off).
2. Connect a parallel data cable to the LPT1 port or a serial cable to the
COM1 port of an IBM-compatible computer running the PC-DOS or
MS-DOS operating system.
NOTE: You can connect the cable to the LPT2 port on the computer if the
LPT1 port is already in use. The load commands are different if you
use this port, as described in the notes after step 16.
3. Verify that the data cable is connected to the appropriate I/O port on the
printer and to the host computer.
4. Power on the computer and allow it to boot up.
5. On the printer control panel, press and hold down the ONLINE + PA PER
ADVANCE keys while powering the printer on. Continue holding the keys
down.
6. When you see “TESTING HARDWARE PLEASE WAIT” on the LCD,
release the keys.
