14. Check the new file for garbled or missing data before assuming that this process is
complete. Verification consists of noting the number of data blocks in the GDP-32
II
,
verifying that all blocks are transferred to the computer, and verifying that all blocks
are readable, complete, and have a standard format.
15. Make back-up copies of all data on floppy disks.
16. Once all data is saved, initialize the data cache in the receiver (see Section 7.4
above).
OUTPUT TO A PRINTER
Cache data is output to a printer via the parallel port. Usually data is transferred to a computer,
but there may be occasions when a printout is all that is necessary.
1. In order to output data to a printer, the parallel port must be enabled. Follow the
instructions in Section 7.5 to enable the parallel port.

5. Select the cache to output.
6. As soon as the output mode is selected, the receiver begins transferring data to the
printer. The receiver LCD displays:

Check this last message to ensure that all of the selected blocks are being transmitted.
7. If the GDP-32
II
outputs data faster than the printer can accept it:
Waiting
is displayed as the software handshake takes over until the printer catches up.
8. When the transfer is complete, the data stops printing and the GDP-32
II
returns to the
Data Mode Main Menu.
9. Examine the printed output to ensure the data have transferred correctly.
NOTE: When finished printing data via the parallel port, reset the port status. If the
parallel port is not disabled and a data transfer is initiated through the RS-232 port, the
system will freeze. If this happens, re-boot the receiver by pressing Control – Alt
– Delete.
