Use the XERDNLD utility to convert Xerox Metacode printer resources, such as FNT files, IMG files, or FRM files, into downloadable files.
XERDNLDW /I /O /P
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
/I |
Enter the file name. Include the extension, such as FRM, FNT, or IMG. |
|
/O |
(Optional) Enter the name of the output DAT file. |
|
/P |
Enter the INI file PrtType to use, such as XER. |
You can also use wildcards to select multiple files or specify a single file. For instance, on Windows machines, adding this parameter
/i=*.FNT
selects all files in current directory with extension FNT. Include a file extension when using wildcards, otherwise the XERDNLD utility will try to process all of the files in the directory.
| Note | You must have the FSISYS.INI file to run the XERDNLD utility. |
This utility lets you send resources to a Xerox printer if you do not have other software programs to accomplish this task. The utility accepts as input a Xerox Metacode resource, such as a font, image, or FRM file, encapsulates it with location-specific DJDE information and writes the resource back out as a .DAT file. You can then send the .DAT file to the Xerox printer as if it were a print stream. The DJDE information at the beginning of the .DAT file will cause the Xerox printer to store the resource on the printer’s local disk device.
When you use the XERDNLD utility to download Xerox resources to a 4235 printer, you must set the printer to use a JDL called 9EBC, and a JDE called LAND. You can set the JDL and JDE from the Document Formatting menu under the XPPM option. In addition, you must set the EBCDIC Parallel Meta / GHO Enabler - IB option to disabled, via the User Services/Printer Options menu.
After you set these options, set the 4235 in Print Mode and send your .DAT files. After you finish sending the .DAT files, remember to reset your JDL, JDE, and EBCDIC Parallel Meta / GHO Enabler - IB options to resume normal print settings.
