Exactly what the error messages say is wrong: there's no file label
a.k.a. keyword to indicate what sort of LOAD file this is, whether:

;KB;
;DL;
;DG;
;SF;
or any of a number of other LOAD filetypes, such as the one that's
needed here:
;PR;

That should appear at the top of the file, by itself on the first
line, in the leftmost position. The first three lines should look
like this:
-----------
;PR;
md nm=112
md bo=127
-----------
The ";PR;" tells the LOAD command that this is a PRinter file, so
that LOAD knows how to interpret it. Now the file will LOAD
properly.
