PRINTERS AND FAXES after clicking on a printer symbol and right-
clicking PROPERTIES > SHARE (in Windows XP). The sharename stands
for a printer, which is connected to a certain port. This is the USB port for
tranferring via USB and the TCP/IP port for transferring by Ethernet.
A few hints on using the USB interface:
¯ The method described here does not work in Windows 98, Windows ME
or Windows NT 4.0.
¯ The sharename has to comply with the MS-DOS formatting conventions
(no more than 8 characters, no symbols or spaces).
P Further information about Ethernet data transfers can be found in topic
section Advanced Applications
.
Before sending a print job from a text program, you need to ensure that the
correct printer driver has been installed.
Special label layout programs, such as NiceLabel, make this much easier.
These programs also require a driver to be installed.
CF card You require the following items to load a print job from a CF card:
• CF card (copy the print job to the directory \FORMATS)
• CF card reader (to connect to your computer)
P A detailed description of how to transfer print jobs via CF cards can be found
