PROGRAMMING CONSIDERATIONS
Command Editor One method to create command files is through
an ASCII based text editor. In the DOS
environment, MS-DOS EDIT or BRIEF are
good choices. To execute the file, use the
editor’s print command or from the DOS
prompt, use the COPY command to send the
file directly to the printer. An example of the use
of the COPY command is:
COPY “FILENAME.EXT” LPT1↵
or
COPY “FILENAME.EXT” COM1↵
For more information on the use of the COPY
command, refer to your DOS software manual.
Configure the COM port to match the printer’s
serial port setting (typically set to defaults). See
the Y command in section 2 for details.
See Examples in Appendix H for more information
on downloading forms or graphics to an EPL2
printer.
