3. Power on the printer. The printer is now in Test and Service mode.
4. Set DIP Switch 1 to the ON position.
5. Hold the [FEED] button down for 1 second. You are now in Data Line Print
mode.
Performing Cloning
Cloning is a Test and Service mode procedure that copies the RAM contents
(configuration, formats, fonts, pages, and graphics) from the memory of one
printer to the memory of another. By programming and configuring just one
printer and then cloning its RAM to other printers, you can configure a large
number of printers in much less time than it would take to program them
individually.
To perform cloning, you must be aware of these limitations:
• You can only clone from like printer to like printer. You cannot clone a 4100
printer to an 86XX or to a 4400.
• The sender and receiver printers must be running the same firmware
version. If you are unsure of the version, perform the Data Line Print mode
function and press the [STOP/CANCEL] button.
• The sender and receiver printers must have exactly the same amount of
static RAM installed. Again, if you are unsure of this, print a configuration
test label.
When you set the printer DIP switches to the cloning setting, you also set the
printer serial port to 19,200 Baud, even parity, 1 stop bit, and 8 data bits. When
you select cloning, the 4100 printer initiates the data transfer by sending an
<ENQ> message to the receiving printer. The receiving printer responds by
transmitting its program and version numbers, and the amount of static RAM
installed. If the numbers are identical to those of the sending printer, the
sender begins the data transfer. The PAUSE indicator on the sending printer
flashes during the data transfer. If the transfer is successful, the sending
printer’s PAUSE indicator turns off. If the transfer fails, the indicator stays lit.
To perform cloning
1. Connect the serial ports of the sender and receiver ports together with an
RS-232 null modem cable.
2. Enable Test and Service mode by moving Switch 8 on the bottom bank of
DIP switches to the 1 or on position.
