This section describes the process required to transfer screen data to the GP,

and to receive data from the GP.

Connect the Data Transfer cable to the GP's tool connector, located at the

back of the GP, and to the PC's serial port.

• When using a serial mouse, use a different serial port for the data transfer

cable.

Also, please remember that OFFLINE mode is unavailable in a completely

new GP until the necessary Screen Data has been transfered from the screen

editor software.

Therefore, be sure the GP's power cord is plugged in and no images are

displayed on the GP screen. While screen data is being sent from your PC to

the GP, the necessary System Data will be sent together with it.
