Downloading Software
Emulation and operating system software must be loaded into flash
memory on the controller board. This software is stored as a compressed
file on a 3.5 inch, double-density floppy diskette. The software can be
downloaded from the host computer to the printer’s flash memory using
PrintNet.
Procedure
1. Make a printout of
all
saved configurations. (Refer to the Operator’s
Manual.) (Installing new software erases all saved configurations.
You will use the printouts to restore printer configuration.)
2. Set the printer power switch to O (off).
3. On the printer control panel, press and hold down the ONLINE + FF
keys. Without releasing the keys, power the printer on. Continue
holding the ONLINE + FF keys down.
4. When you see “WAITING FOR PROGRAM DOWNLOAD” on the
LCD, release the ONLINE + FF keys.
5. On the host computer, create a temporary directory called “download”
on the c: drive. From an MS-DOS
prompt, type:
md c:\download <Return>
6. Insert the emulation or upgrade diskette into diskette drive A (or B) of
the host computer.
7. Make the diskette drive the active drive by typing the following at the
DOS prompt:
A: <Return>
(If the diskette is in drive B, type
B: <Return>)
