distributor. Consult your dealer for information about when updated print server
firmware versions are available.

contained in to related files, a larger one with a .bin extension, and a smaller one
having a
.dwl

image files before overwriting them with the new ones.

file using a standard dialog box.

should be able to recover from an interrupted transfer in most cases, However, in some
situations it may be necessary to return your print server for servicing in order to recover
from an interrupted download.
