Remarks ZMODEM is a protocol for serial transfer of a complete fi le between
for example a PC and a printer. For more information on the ZMODEM
protocol, please refer to http://www.omen.com. Related instructions are
RZ (receive data using the ZMODEM protocol) and SZ (send data using
the ZMODEM protocol).
TRANSFER ZMODEM can only handle one single fi le at a time.
When transmitting fi les from the printer to the host, carefully observe
possible restrictions concerning the number of characters etc. in the fi le name,
that is imposed by the operating system of the host.
When receiving a fi le, you must start the transmission within 30 seconds
from completing the TRANSFER ZMODEM "R" statement. The printer
will store the fi le in the current directory "c:", "tmp:", or "card1:", see
CHDIR statement. (Obviously, fi les cannot be received into "rom:".) If there
already exists a fi le in the current directory with the same name as the one
to be transferred, the existing fi le will be replaced by the new fi le. Thus, it is
up to you to keep record of the fi les already stored in the current directory
(see FILES statement). Before transfer, give the new fi le a name that is not
already occupied by an existing fi le, unless you want to replace the existing
fi le. If you use TRANSFER ZMODEM to download a font or image fi le,
the font or image will automatically be installed after the downloading is
completed without any need for a reboot.
Examples Setting up the printer for fi le reception on the standard IN channel:
TRANSFER ZMODEM "R"
Transmission from printer to host of the fi le "FILE1.TXT" on a channel
other than the standard OUT channel:
TRANSFER Z "S","FILE1.TXT","uart2:","uart2:"
