please help- notepad file using serial communication

[kamran ahmed]

I am working on a dot matrix printer.Its LX-300  . I am trying to replace the company circuit board with my own atmega32 controller based circuit board and using bascom compiler. I want to send a notepad text file using serial port to print some text.

let me explain you! obviously its a dot matrix printer that's why we need to define all characters so I defined the characters A,B,C,…..1,2,3,…. in atmega32. When i switch on the circuit then it directly prints the all characters that i defined in atmega32. Now i want to print it using a notepad file through serial communication. sorry i am newbie that's why its very difficult to explain.

you have to make a C program to read your text file and send it to ATmega32 through UART. 

i think it will not be possible in all new operating systems like WIN7 / WIN8 / WIN10

in earlier windows systems like WIN98 it was possible
