IBM-compatible computer that is using the PC-DOS or MS-DOS
operating system.
NOTE: You can connect the cable to the LPT2 port if the LPT1 port is
already in use. If you use the LPT2 port, the download command is
different, as described in the note after step 33.

13. Set the printer power switch to | (on).

emulation software to install, continue with step 15.
15. Set the printer power switch to O (off).

where you will store the recombined files from the emulation diskettes
by typing the following at the DOS prompt:
MD DOWNLOAD

following at the DOS prompt:

into diskette drive A (or B) of the computer.
