put and mput Commands
The put command allows you to send a file to the printer for printing
or storage. The mput command allows you to send multiple files to
the printer for printing or storage.
Purpose Sets the type of data contained in the file to be put (sent) to the
printer.
filetype binary—For 7-bit or 8-bit binary data
ascii—For other data
Notes This command changes the way the host sends data, not how
the interface receives the data. From the host’s point of view, the
primary difference between binary and ASCII files is the way
carriage returns and line feeds (<CR> and <LF>) are handled
Binary—<CR>=<CR> and <LF>=<LF>
ASCII—<CR>=<CR>+<LF> and <LF>=<LF>+<CR>
Syntax put
filename
mput filenames
Purpose put sends a file to the printer or downloads the file to the printer’s
hard disk.
mput sends several files to the printer or downloads several files
to the printer’s hard disk.
filename The filename(s). If the files are not in the host’s root directory, use
the full pathname. Wildcards are acceptable with the mput
command.
