Printing forms from a flash drive The Create Flash File option in Forms Manager is used to add one or more formsets to printers that are not attached to the network. The flash file allows Forms Manager to communicate with these printers. The flash file created contains everything needed to add the formset(s) to the printer. You can save the file to a flash drive and then access it through the USB port on the printer. For more information on creating flash files, see the Forms Manager documentation. Notes: • If formsets on the flash drive, the printer memory, or the printer hard disk contain the same activation conditions, then the formsets on the flash drive are used when those conditions are met. • This function is supported only on printers with a USB port. Identifying the version of forms on the Forms and Bar Code Card Do one of the following: • Print a Menu Settings page. The current version of forms is listed under Installed Features. For more information on printing a menu settings page, see the printer User's Guide. • Select the printer in Forms Manager, and then view the printer properties. Note: Forms Manager is also used when upgrading the Forms and Bar Code Card firmware. Font limitations Windows fonts often contain more characters than the installed printer fonts. As a result, the printer may not print all the characters on a form. This is usually a problem only for characters that fall outside of the 0-255 character code range for nonstandard code pages. Print a sample form to check whether all the characters you want are printed. Creating and managing forms 18
