Performing Selective Transfer

If you want to copy select formats, pages, fonts, or graphics to another printer
but you do not want to clone the entire RAM contents, you can use the
Selective Transfer command. This command is useful for setting up different
printers to print the same label formats.
With Selective Transfer, you can download these label design attributes from
one 4100 printer to another:
• Any specified page or all pages
• Any specified format or all formats
• Any specified font or all fonts
• Any specified user-defined character (UDC) or all UDCs
When you set the printer DIP switches to the setting for Selective Transfer, you
also set the printer serial port to 19,200 Baud, even parity, 1 stop bit, and 8 data
bits. When you select Selective Transfer, the 4100 printer initiates the data
transfer by sending an <ENQ> message to the receiving printer. The data
transfer begins when the receiving printer responds with a <DC1> message.
The Pause indicator light on the sending printer flashes while the data is being
transferred. For pages, format, and fonts, the destination and source numbers
can be different. For user-defined characters, the destination and source
numbers must be the same.
