TRANSFERRING DATA TO A PC
It should be noted that the PRINT function can be used to transfer the
formatted print data to a PC. The following example uses Windows
3

, but any DEC VT–100 terminal emulation program can be used.
NOTE: You can use the existing serial printer cable, however, you
may need to use a DB25 Null Modem adaptor plug and/or a DB25 to
DB9 adaptor plug if required by your PC.
1 Use OTC cable (p/n 212535) and connect between the DDT
printer port and the PC’s COM1 port (or an available serial port).
2 Set up the Windows terminal emulation program on the PC to
capture the print data into a file as follows:
a. Select the Accessories Icon.
b. Select the Terminal Icon.
c. From the menu bar, select Settings – Communications. Set the
communications parameters as follows:
Baud Rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow control: Xon/Xoff
Connector:
COM1
d. Select OK.
3 Make sure the DDT baud rate matches the terminal baud rate. This
can be done from the Tool Setup Function. Select 1 – General
Setup and set the following:
PRN BAUD to 9600 and
PRN STOP BITS to 1.
4 From the Windows terminal menu bar, select Transfers –
Receive text file. You will then be asked to assign a filename.
(File name you wish to upload from the cartridge. For example,
OG123456.txt)
Important – the file must have a “.txt” extension.
