Communicating With the Printer

You are now ready to print labels by downloading data from the host to
the printer. Downloading is the universal term used to describe the transfer
of information from the host to any connected peripheral device, such as
your printer. When you transfer data from your printer to the PC or host,
you are performing a process called uploading.

You can use several methods to download information in your data
collection system. The next sections describe different ways to
communicate with the printer.
