If the device is connected through a local port (parallel), then you can send the .RFU file directly to the

device by using a

COPY

command from a command prompt or an MS-DOS window.

Topics:

●

Windows 98 SE or Windows Me

●

Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003

Windows 98 SE or Windows Me

From a command prompt or in an MS-DOS window, type the following:

Mode lpt1:,,p

NOTE

If the device is attached to a parallel port other than LPT1, then substitute the

correct LPT port number in the

mode

command.

Press

Enter

on the keyboard. The response you receive should be similar to these examples:

> LPT1 Not Rerouted

> Resident portion of MODE loaded

> Infinite retry on parallel printer time-out

At a command prompt, type

copy /b <FILENAME> <PORTNAME>

, where <FILENAME> is the

name of the .RFU file (including the path) and <PORTNAME> is the name of the appropriate device

port (such as LPT1). For example, type the following:

C:\>copy /b c:\P3005fw.rfu lpt1

NOTE

If the file name or path includes a space, you must enclose the file name or path in

quotation marks. For example, type

C:\>copy /b "c:\My Documents\P3005fw.rfu"
