Manual Two-Key Download

1. Start a Windows Command Prompt session.
2. Navigate to the directory with the target file (e.g., c:\download).
3. Copy cnvt2fls.exe from the
the target file.
4. Convert the file to a downloadable format using the following command at the command prompt:
cnvt2fls file_name1 file_name2 file_name3 A FONT <Enter>
where
•
file_name1 is the name of the file to be converted into the downloadable format.
•
file_name2 is the name of the file of the output file that will be downloaded into the printer.
•
file_name3 is the name of the file within the Main File System.
The FONT parameter should only be used with fonts; otherwise, omit this parameter. For example:
cnvt2fls arial.ttf arial.dwn ARIAL.TTF A FONT <Enter>
This creates file "arial.dwn" that will place "ARIAL.TTF" into the Main File System.
5. Place the printer in download mode as described in Manual Two-Key Download Sequence on page
226
6. Send the file as described in Sending Firmware in Download Mode on page 227. Substitute file_name2
in place of the firmware FILENAME.prg.
