Thetransfer test requires an aid program which is available to service engineers.Receive test64-xx ALX 92x DPM PEM ALX 73x (PMA) AP 4.4 AP 5.4 AP 5.6Serial connectionAssumption is a serial data line between PC and printer; the parameterINTERF.PARAM. > Interface must be set to „Serial Com1“.1. Start the MS-DOS-prompt (using Windows).2. Set the interface to the values adjusted at the printer by means of MS-DOScommand MODE:Example of printer settings:– Baud rate: 19200– No. of data bits: 8– Parity: none– Stop Bits: 1– Data synch.: RTS/CTSDOS-Command: mode COM1 baud=19200 parity=n data=8 stop=1(if com1 is the serial port)3. Press the Online-key to start Receive test.4. Send any file to the printer (Condition: com1 = Printer port; anyfile.txt = anyfile ):copy anyfile.txt com1 (add /b for binary files)The following shows up on the printer display:xxxxxx is the size of the sent file in bytes. This value is being counted up dur-ing the test. The test is complete if the file size does not vary any more. If thebytes announced at the printer match the size visible in the MS-DOS window,transfer was successful. Otherwise, transmission errors occurred.Parallel connectionAssumption is a parallel data line between PC and printer; the parameterINTERF.PARAM. > Interface must be set up on Centronics. Proceed as follows:1. Run Receive test. To this call the parameter SERVICE FUNCTION > Receive test andpress the Online-key.Receive test0 BytesReceive testxxxxx BytesReceive test0 Bytes
