Managing memory
176
Depending on the downloading method you use, the printer may perform all of these
steps automatically when you identify files you want to download. The following sections
identify three different ways you can download files.
Using MarkVision
Use MarkVision to download fonts, macros, and demo programs to RAM, flash, or disk
without using the operator panel. The utility automatically places the printer into Resource
Data Collection mode, downloads the files, and then takes the printer back out of
Resource Data Collection mode. This method also lets you download multiple files, and
handles any error messages produced if the device is already full or incorrectly formatted.
Using the operating system command line
You can also download fonts and macros to the printer using a command line utility like
PCSEND, or a COPY command in the following format:
COPY MACRO.MAC/B LPT1
The /B parameter lets you download binary data as part of the macro.
Remember to set the download target from the operator panel before sending the com-
mand, and then set the download target back to RAM after sending the command.
Using PostScript programming
Refer to the
Technical Reference
for a complete list of PostScript operators available for
downloading resources to flash or disk.
Managing downloaded resources
The Resource Management option in MarkVision lets you manage files stored in flash
memory and on disk. On a single printer, files can be copied to, deleted from, or moved
between flash and disk. In addition, you can copy files from one printer’s flash or disk,
copy them to a workstation’s hard disk, and then copy them across the network to any
number of other printers with flash memory or a disk device installed.
The operator panel menus also offer limited functions for managing flash and disk
devices. See “Changing printer settings” on page 27 for more information about printer
menus and using the operator panel.
