How to check its printing barcodes
LPR -S -P Raw -o l
Use test file bsgroup1. pcl
Check the BarDIMM by reading it on a Windows PC
The File Structure will contain:
.manifest in the root
Jetmobile folder containing BarDIMM-Pro Folder
Containing BarDIMM-Pro.bdl
The Licence is embedded in the special Stick itself!
When the BarDIMM is inserted, the Software is loaded as a solution into the printer
(But needs the stick as it has the Licence to remove “Demo” Mode from the barcodes)
Check for Boot*.* files in the root
If these exist, they can safely be deleted
Check Office Support, Windows 10, onward, Windows Server 2012 onward, Office 365 PC Installed (NOT Office 365 Cloud version)
