Program Download
Normally the Host communicates with the printer’s USB port with a Windows
Driver. The Windows Driver cannot be used to transfer binary data to the
printer, such as the data contained in a Program Download. To do a Program
Download through the USB Port perform the following steps:
1. Make the printer sharable on the Host PC. This is done through the
Printer Setting Window on the PC. Make note of the Printers Shared
name.
2. Open a Dos Window on the PC. At the command prompt type:
NET USE LPT1\\COMP_NAME\Printers_Shared_Name /Persistent:YES
This command should be all on the same line. It redirects output on LPT1
to the shared printer.
COMP_NAME is the computer name found on the system settings.
Printers_Shared_Name is the shared name found in the printer
Properties\Sharing tab.
3. To check status of connection type:
Net View \\COMP_NAME
COMP_NAME is the computer name found on the system settings.
Now the printer is ready.
4. Use the COPY command to send the program file to the printer. Type:
COPY /b <File Name> lpt1:
5. To stop using LPT1 for USB, type:
NET USE LPT1 /DELETE
