Using Selective Transfer

If you want to copy select formats, pages, fonts, or graphics to another printer

Selective Transfer command. This command lets you set up many printers so
they print the same label formats.
Using the Selective Transfer command, you can download the following from
one printer to another:
The selective transfer procedure consists of connecting the main serial ports of
two printers with an RS-232 null modem cable, designating each printer as
either a sender or receiver. The control panel of the sender printer is used to
specify which items are to be downloaded and to execute the command.
Keep in mind that the receiver printer must have sufficient RAM to
accommodate the information downloaded from the sender.
If you do not know which fonts, formats, graphics, or pages are in your printer,
you can print a configuration test label as described in "About Configuration
Test Labels" in Chapter 5.
