7. Printing Online
You can send format, batch, and graphic data streams to the
printer from a host. When the printer receives the data,
batches begin printing automatically. The
System
Administrator’s Guide
tells how to create, store, and download
the data necessary to print batches.
Before you print online, you must:
• load the right supply (refer to your
Equipment Manual
)
• connect the host and printer
• set the communication values (see Chapter 4, "Setting
the Communication Values")
• have format and batch data streams ready to download
from the host (refer to the
System Administrator’s
Guide
).
Your printer is ready to receive and print batches as soon as
you turn it on. You will see

Printing begins as soon as you download the format and batch
