Download a sample output
file above and save it to your desktop or to a folder on your hard disk, such
as c:\test\
When the download is
completed, launch a Command Prompt
Navigate to the folder
where you saved the WinLINE sample output file e.g. cd c:\test\
Load a new sheet of paper
into your output device and make it ready for action
If your output device
is connected to a serial port such as COM1 or COM2:
For Windows 2000, NT4, 98 and Me:
Initialize the serial port first with the mode command.
For example, if your output device is connected to COM2, you would
use the mode command in this way: mode
COM2: 9600,n,8,1,p
For Windows XP:
Configure your serial port to match the settings on your plotter by clicking
Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Ports and setting the Properties for the serial port.
Copy the file to your
output device with the copy
command.
For example, if your output device is connected to the serial port COM2, to
print the file DMPL-F.plt you would type: copy
/b DMPL-F.plt COM2:
from the command prompt,
or for an output device that is connected to the parallel port LPT1 you would
type: copy
/b DMPL-F.plt LPT1:
