Section 4: Printer Mode Data Transfer Device Operating Instructions

4.3.4 Viewing and Printing Infrared Log Files

The files are available for viewing directly in the DTD Printer Utility. Select the file you want to view in the left hand column and the
data is displayed in the right hand column.

The files are also stored as text files on the PC in the following folder: C:\Program Files\DTD Printer Utility\LogFiles. To access
these files, open a text editing program, such as Windows Notepad or WordPad and browse to the folder path indicated above and
open the file. You can also browse to the file through Windows Explorer.

Printer File Naming Convention

Printer files are named with a time/date stamp in the following format: year/month/day/hour/minute/sequence number/r. The sequence
number is an easy way to differentiate two different files if they are created within the same minute. This number increments by 1 with
each file. The “r” indicates that the file is a printer file.

The example shown in section 4.2.2 is 2008012211398r and this would be stored as 2008012211398r.txt on the PC. Below is a break
down of the file name.

2008 = Year

01 = Month

22 = Day

11 = Hour

39 = Minute

8 = Sequence Number

r = Printer File Designation

4.3.5 Erasing Infrared Logs from the DTD

To erase the infrared log files from your DTD click on “Erase All Printer Logs from DTD” in the DTD Printer Utility. When
complete, you are prompted with a message indicating the files were erased. This action only erases the files from the DTD; It does
not erase them from the PC.
