F. Download the generated files to the printer – one method is the DOS copy command:
copy small.ls lpt1: /b
G. Reset the printer by pressing and holding the CANCEL Key for approximately four
seconds.
H. After the resetting, verify operation by printing a Configuration Label. The new font
selection will be printed on the label under SYSTEM INFORMATION / OPTIONAL
LANGUAGES. (The new language also appears in the menu: SYSTEM SETTINGS / MENU
LANGUAGE.) These are the only methods to determine whether the download was
successful.
An error has occurred if the menu system displays the new language selection, but all
the displayed messages remain in English. In this case, re-check your process or contact
Datamax Technical Support (be prepared to provide the Common.xls and DPL download
files created). Other possible error messages are as follows:

designated characters for this MID
The entered message exceeds the

I. Repeat Steps A – H using the filename misc.xls to translate printer option items. This
will output small20.ls.
Important Advanced File Handling Information
•
The standard printer leaves the factory with EFIGS loaded into Module Y. At this
point, Module Y is LOCKED and will only accept additional language downloads.
•
After downloading a language update, Module Y is left UNLOCKED until the printer is
reset or power is cycled. In this state, Module Y will accept font, image and label
format downloads. The module will also honor the Clear Module request. Therefore,
following an update it is recommended that a reset be performed to lock the module;
otherwise, a software package may ‘Clear All Modules’ thus destroying the new menu
language(s).
