Appendix C – Menu Language  85 
 
F.  Download the generated files to the printer – one method is the DOS copy command: 
 
copy small.ls lpt1: /b 
 
 
G.  Reset the printer by pressing and holding the CANCEL Key for approximately four seconds. 
 
 
H.  After resetting, verify operation by printing a Configuration Label (see Section 4.4). New 
language information will be printed under SYSTEM INFORMATION / OPTIONAL LANGUAGES. 
(Also, the new language will appear on the display as a menu item in SYSTEM SETTINGS / 
MENU LANGUAGE. These are the only methods to determine a successful download.) 
 
Enable the new language. Enter the menu system and go to SYSTEM SETTINGS / MENU 
LANGUAGE and select the new language. Next select the desired font for the language. Save 
the changes when prompted. (A reset will occur as font validation is performed.) 
 
An error has occurred if the printer displays the new language selection, but all messages 
remain in English. In this case, re-check your process or contact Datamax-O’Neil Technical 
Support (be ready to provide the Common.xls and DPL download files created). Other error 
messages are also possible:
