Performing Selective Transfer
If you want to copy select formats, pages, fonts, or graphics to another printer but you
do not want to clone the entire RAM contents, use the selective transfer command. Use
this command to set up different printers to print the same label formats.
Using the selective transfer command, you can download the following label design
attributes from one 4420 or 4440 printer to another:
•
Any specified page or all pages
•
Any specified format or all formats
•
Any specified font or all fonts
•
Any specified user-defined character (UDC) or all UDCs
Set the serial port DIP switch settings to 115,200 baud, even parity, 1 stop bit, and 8
data bits. If you are transferring pages or fonts, the destination and source numbers can
be different. If you are transferring formats or UDCs, the destination and source
number must be the same.
To perform selective transfer
1. Turn off the sending and receiving printers.
2. Set the serial port on both the sending printer and the receiving printer to 115,200
baud, even parity, 1 stop bit, and 8 data bits.
3. Turn on the receiving printer.
4. Press down and hold the Feed/Pause button while turning on the printer. The
hardware configuration test label prints.
5. Connect the serial ports of the sender and receiver ports together with an RS-232
null modem cable. For help, refer to “Connecting the Printer to Your System” in
Chapter 2 and “Communications Interfaces” in Appendix C.
6. Set the DIP switches on the sending printer and receiving printer for selective
transfer as shown in the table of Test and Service Mode DIP Switch Settings on
page 6-4.
7. Select the type of data that you wish to transfer (such as pages, formats, fonts, or
UDCs) by setting the corresponding DIP switches shown in the table on page 6-4.
8. Press the Feed/Pause button on the sending printer to initiate selective transfer.
When the Power/Data LED stops flashing, the selective transfer is complete.
9. Exit Test and Service mode by turning off the printer and returning all DIP
switches to their original settings.
