3 Connecting m600 advanced to PC
To enable data transfer between the m600 advanced and the PC, you have to connect the two components.
On principle, there are three ways how to establish communication: via the serial interface, via USB or via
Ethernet.
Functionalities in case of serial communication:
• Data transfer.
• Transfer of system settings and character sets.
• Firmware update.
Functionalities in case of USB communication:
• Data transfer.
• Transfer of system settings and character sets.
Functionalities in case of communication via Ethernet:
• Data transfer.
• Transfer of system settings.
• Control and supervision of several m600 advanced via remote control.
• Transfer of character sets.
• Transferring customized ink types between the m600 advanced and the PC
Communication set-up:
• For a serial communication: Connect the PC and the m600 advanced via a RS232 interface cable.
• To establish a USB connection, the USB drivers must be installed and the Com port of the m600 specified. The
speed of a USB connection is always 115200 Baud.
• There are two possible ways of communication via LAN: You can connect the PC directly to the m600 advanced
via a cross cable, or connect the PC to the m600 advanced within a LAN network.
• Now, switch the m600 controller ON and start the Ethernet Manager. In the menu "Options/program properties",
set the correct communication data. (For precise explanations, refer to chapter 5.3).
• You must use the same communication settings on the m600 as you have selected for the Ethernet Manager.

The following characters must not be used: \ " / > < | ? * :
 Regarding bitmaps:
Bitmaps must be available in the following format:
• Monochrome (Attention: no grey steps).

• Not compressed.
• Only Windows bitmaps (no OS2 bitmaps).
• Save file in its definite print size with 600dpi (size cannot be changed once a file is on the m600).
In the case of non-monochrome bitmaps, the following message appears.
The following approximate values apply to the definition of the print height (in mm, cm or pixels):
Max. print height:
in mm in pixels
with one print head 12.7 mm = 300 pixels
with two print heads 25.4 mm = 600 pixels
with three print heads 38.1 mm = 900 pixels
with four print heads 50.8 mm = 1200 pixels
 Regarding labels:
Only labels of the version matching the m600's firmware can be uploaded.
New labels cannot be uploaded to older m600 versions, as the new label versions include new configuration
parameters which cannot be interpreted by older software versions. This might lead to incorrect represen-
tations or even cause the m600 to crash.
On principle, the software is downwardly compatible, i.e. a new m600 firmware can be used to open labels
with lower version numbers.

Should there be a version conflict, the following error message appears:
When the user clicks "No", another information appears:
