Loading Flash Memory (If Equipped)

The first file name following the command name is the name of the input file that you want to convert.

The second file name is the name of the downloadable output file, which the utility will create.

The third file name is the name of the output file as it will be stored in the flash memory after downloading and later displayed on the printer LCD menus.

The “A” parameter in the command line is a fixed parameter that must always be entered.

If the file being converted is a font file, enter “FONT” following the “A” parameter on the command line. If the file is not a font file, omit “FONT.”

IMPORTANT

Be sure that you always enter the “A” parameter on the CNVT2FLS command line, as indicated above.

When the CNVT2FLS utility runs, it reads the file named file_name1 and creates the file named file_name2. The file named file_name2 is a flash downloadable file that can be copied and downloaded to the printer, as detailed later in this section. The utility takes the filename you specify for file_name3 and stores this information within the downloadable output file (file_name2). The file_name3 file name is used only to determine the file name to display on the printer front panel menus.

To make disk-based and flash-based emulations compatible with one another, the first and third file names in the command line must be the same.

5.To convert a font file, enter the following at the DOS prompt on the computer, for example:

CNVT2FLS custom.sf custom.dwn custom.sf A FONT

<Return>

where custom.sf is the name of one of the font files you want to convert. This command converts the specified font file, creating the downloadable file custom.dwn.

6. Repeat step 5 for any additional font files to be converted.
