The print-ready file can be sent directly to the product by typing a copy command at a command prompt

or in an MS-DOS window.

1. At a command prompt, type copy /b <FILENAME> <PORTNAME>, where <FILENAME> is the

name of the print-ready 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:\<file name>.PDF lpt1

2. Press Enter on the keyboard. The message PROCESSING JOB appears on the control panel,

and the job prints.

marks. For example, type C:\>copy /b "c:\My Documents\<file name>.PDF".

3. At the command prompt, type exit to close the command window.

(including the path), <COMPUTERNAME> is the name of the computer (connected to the device

by a USB) from which the device is being shared, and <SHARENAME> is the product share name.

For example, type the following:
