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
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 19.11 to enable the parallel port.
2. Press

4. Press , Access Cache.
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:
Transmitting
x blocks found to transmit
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.
