Downloading Files to the Main File System
User Files can be downloaded into the Main File System (onboard PCB
Flash) in a various ways as
discussed in this section. This section does not
cover specific methods used by the emulations but rather
general ways of
downloading files as shown in Table 8. Font download is discussed in a later
section.
Table 8. File Download Methods
Web Page (Ethernet only). User needs to know the IP address and have
a browser.
PTX_SETUP (any host IO). User can employ PTX_SETUP commands
around the file data to store the file into the Main File System.
Binary (raw) data of the file
is embedded within
PTX_SETUP commands.
Manual two-key download (any host IO). This two-key (LEFT SOFT KEY +
RIGHT SOFT KEY) power-up sequence puts the printer into download mode.
Files can then be downloaded.
Run cnvt2fls.exe to add
the proper header to the
file.
PrintNet Enterprise (Ethernet only). User must install the PrintNet
Enterprise application from the PrintNet CD. This is the most versatile and
powerful method to download files but requires your computer can run
Java™ programs.
For a detailed description,
refer to the PrintNet
Ethernet User's Manual.
NOTE: Depending on the file download method, the file itself may need to be
modified so that when it
is downloaded to the printer, the printer
stores the file with the correct Main File System name
and file type.
