Appendix C Loading Flash Memory
If you are loading the file using the serial port on the computer, type
the following commands:
mode COM1:9600,N,8,1,P<Enter>
copy /b filename.dwn COM1<Enter>
(where
filename .dwn is a file you noted in step 12.)
The 9600 baud rate is the only selection some systems can use. The
baud rate information entered in the above commands must match the
Baud Rate setting (in the SERIAL PORT menu) saved in the Power-Up
Config.
You can download the optional fonts one at a time by entering one file
name per the copy command or you can copy multiple files in one copy
command.
To download one file at a time, enter the following at the command
prompt:
copy /b filename.dwn LPT1<Enter>
To download multiple files, enter the following at the command prompt,
for example:
copy /b filename1.dwn+filename2.dwn+...LPT1<Enter>
14. While the font file is copied into flash memory, the printer LCD informs
you of the load process and status. When the new file is successfully
loaded into memory, the printer will reset itself and go online.
15. To verify that the optional fonts have been downloaded:
NOTE: Admin User must be set to Enable in the PRINTER CONTROL menu.
See the
User’s Manual .

b. Select PRINTER CONTROL
View File List. The new file names
will appear with the same part number file name you downloaded, but
with an .sf extension.
NOTE: The optional font typefaces cannot be selected via the printer control
panel. They can only be selected via a software command from the
host.
16. Press the PAUSE key to place the printer online and return the printer to
normal operation.
Downloading TrueType Fonts
There are several ways to download TrueType fonts to your SLPA printer.
Once a TrueType font is downloaded, it will be stored in the Flash file system
as a resident font. Regardless of printer power cycles, the downloaded font
will stay in the printer until the user deletes it. The user can find the list of all
printer resident fonts under Printer Control -> View File List after enabling
Admin User in the Printer Control menu. To delete a downloaded font from the
Flash file system, the user should select the font under Printer Control ->
Delete File List and then select Optimize & Reboot.
