M – Memory Allocation, cont.
Examples, cont. Resetting the memory via the parallel port (Windows driver):
When installing a memory cartridge, you may want to change the memory allocation
without having to set up a serial communication. Using the MS-DOS Prompt in
Microsoft Windows, you can send the necessary M command via the parallel port
as follows. The example assumes that MS Windows 98 is installed in drive C:\ and
that the printer is connected to LPT1:.
In a text editor like Windows Notepad, write the M command, for example:
M170,100,100 ↵
Save the text fi le in the directory c:\windows\ under a suitable name (for
example memsetup.txt).
Click the Start button. Place the cursor at Programs option and in the list of
programs, click the MS-DOS Prompt option.
In MS-DOS, the directory c:\windows\ is selected by default:
C:\WINDOWS>_
Enter the following DOS command:
C:\WINDOWS>copy memsetup.txt lpt1: ↵
MS-DOS responds by displaying:
1 fi le(s) copied
C\:WINDOWS>
Exit MS-DOS by typing:
C\:WINDOWS> exit ↵
