4. Start the File Transfer

1. On the Host PC, press ENTER to start the transfer. The Host PC displays this
message:
C:>\ Bytes sent = xxxx
If the Host PC is not ready or the cable is disconnected between the PC and the
terminal, the PC displays this message:
Awaiting DSR
In this case, check the cable connection and then press ENTER again on the Host PC
to start the download.
2. During the transfer, the VRC 6940 terminal displays these messages:
Program Loader
Receiving :xxxx
Check the status on both the terminal and the Host PC during data transmission.
They should both show program segment addresses being transferred (XXXX). If
this does not happen, then the data is not transferring correctly.
3. When the transmission is complete, the terminal displays a status code. A successful
download shows a status of 0000. This message appears:
Program Loader
Status 0000
Any other value indicates a failed transfer. See Appendix E, Communications Status
Codes.
Failed Transfers
If a file transfer finishes with a status value other than 0000, then the transfer was not
successful. In this case:
1. Check cable connections between the VRC 6940 terminal and the Host PC. Make
sure the null modem cable is connected to the correct port on the Host PC.
2. Repeat the transfer steps using a lower baud rate (e.g., 19200).
3. If the problem persists, contact Symbol Technical Support for assistance.
