## Downloading a command file to a parallel-attached printer

You can download your command file instead of having to run the Local Printer Settings Utility for each printer. Before downloading the command file, download the file offline.npa to each printer.

To download a command file:

1. Locate the file offline.npa. If necessary, click Start > Search > For Files or Folders.

2. Open a command prompt.

   - For Windows 98 and Windows Me:

     Click Start > Programs > Command Prompt.

   - For Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP:

     1. Click Start > Run....

     2. Type command.

     3. Press Enter or Return.

3. Change the directory to the folder containing offline.npa. For help with this process, click Start > Help, and search the index for “cd command.”

4. Enter copy /b offline.npa [port name]. For example, if the printer is attached to LPT1, enter copy /b offline.npa lpt1.

5. Enter copy /b [command file name] [port name]. For example, if the command file is named settings.npa and the printer is attached to LPT1, enter copy /b settings.npa lpt1.

6. Close the command prompt window.
