Downloading Optional Font Files to Flash Memory

Note

If you are loading the file using the LPT2 port on the computer, type the

 

following command:

 

 

copy /b filename.dwn LPT2<Enter>

 

 

(where filename.dwn is a file you noted in step 14.)

 

If you are loading the file using the serial port on the computer,

 

type the following commands:

 

 

mode COM1:9600,N,8,1,P<Enter>

 

 

copy /b filename.dwn COM1<Enter>

 

 

(where filename.dwn is a file you noted in step 14.)

 

 

 

The 9600 baud rate is the only selection older versions of MS-DOS can

 

use. The baud rate information entered in the above commands must

 

match the selection you made in step 8.

 

 

You can download the optional font files one at a time by entering one file

 

name per the copy command or you can copy multiple files in one copy

 

command.

 

 

To download one file at a time, enter the following at the command

 

prompt:

 

 

copy /b filename.dwn LPT1<Enter>

 

 

To download multiple files, enter the following at the command prompt,

 

for example:

 

 

copy /b filename1.dwn+filename2.dwn+...

LPT1<Enter>
