You can load a printer profile to another printer by sending programming
commands directly from your PC to the printer through a terminal
program (such as HyperTerminal), a serial connection, or a network
connection. All commands are case-sensitive.
Note: You may need itadmin rights to change some communication
settings. To load printer profiles that modify these settings, you must log
in as an itadmin: RUN "su -p pass itadmin".
