TRANSFER ZMODEM
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
Field of Application Statement for transferring data files using ZMODEM communication
protocol.
Syntax TRANSFER ↔ Z[MODEM][,[,[,sexp 4 >]]]
specifies the direction of the transmission by the expression
"S " (= send) or "R" (= receive).
is, optionally, the name of the file transmitted from the printer
(default "ZMODEM.FILE").
specifies, optionally, the input device as "uart1:", "uart2:", or
"uart3:" (default: std IN channel).
specifies, optionally, the output device as "uart1:", "uart2:", or
"uart3:" (default: std OUT channel).
Remarks ZMODEM is a protocol for serial transfer of a complete file between e.g. a
PC and a printer. For more information on the ZMODEM protocol, please
refer to http://www.omen.com. Related instruction is RZ (receive data using
the ZMODEM protocol) and SZ (send data using the ZMODEM protocol).
TRANSFER ZMODEM can only handle one single file at a time.
When transmitting files from the printer to the host, carefully observe
possible restrictions concerning the number of characters etc. in the file name,
that is imposed by the operating system of the host.
When receiving a file, you must start the transmission within 30 seconds from
completing the TRANSFER ZMODEM "R" statement. The printer will store
the file in the current directory "c:", "tmp:", or "card1:", see CHDIR
statement. (Obviously, files cannot be received into "rom:"). If there already
exists a file in the current directory with the same name as the one to be
transferred, the existing file will be replaced by the new file. Thus, it is up to
you to keep record of the files already stored in the current directory (see
FILES statement). Before transfer, give the new file a name that is not already
occupied by an existing file, unless you want to replace the existing file. If you
use TRANSFER ZMODEM to download a font or image file, 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 file reception on the standard IN channel:
TRANSFER ZMODEM "R"
Transmission from printer to host of the file "FILE1.TXT" on a channel other
than the standard OUT channel:
TRANSFER Z "S","FILE1.TXT","uart2:","uart2:"
