Aborting a download may leave the printer in an unstable state.
During the download, the printer’s flash memory will be erased, and
CLEARING FLASH will display on the operator panel. At this time, the PMU
may appear to stop operating. This is normal, and the entire download
process should take no more than fifteen minutes.
NOTE: Be sure to calibrate your thermal printer after you download a
configuration to it. See “Running Auto Calibrate” in the printer’s
User’s Manual .
You can also download a series of files to several printers at once using
folders. Select a folder and select
Applications File Download . All of the
appropriate files inside the selected folder download to all of the printers
inside that folder.
NOTE: Downloading a configuration file does not immediately update the
printer’s active configuration. You must activate a downloaded
configuration using the Load Config. setting in the operator panel.
Refer to the printer’s
User’s Manual for details.
