Send data to the printer just as you would send any print data
to a printer from your computer.
For example, if you have a file named FORMAT1.DAT on an
MS-DOS system, you could send the data to your printer with
these commands:
MODE COM1:2400,N,8,1,P
MODE LPT1:=COM1
PRINT FORMAT1.DAT
This set of commands would send the file FORMAT1.DAT to a
printer connected to COM1 of an MS-DOS computer.
Format and graphic structures can be sent at any time.
Formats or graphics used by batch data must be sent before
the batch data referencing them. Any batch sent without a
previously defined format is ignored, generating an error.
NOTE: Formats designed on the 9425, 9445, or 9474
printers using the Dots numbering system will not
have the same horizontal field locations when used
on the 9465 printer. You will have to adjust the
format as needed.
