Open a command prompt window.
Enter:
– Replace “ALS.BF_V1.33.s3b” with the name of the
current firmware file.
Please note:
– ComputerName = Name of the computer. You can
find this name in Windows XP under START > SET-
TINGS > CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > COM-
PUTERNAME (e.g. “DM-ECH-0990”).
– Share name = name found in Windows XP under
START > SETTINGS > PRINTERS AND FAXES, by
right-clicking on the device icon then clicking PROP-
ERTIES > SHARING. The Share name stands for a
printer that is connected to a certain port – a USB
port for transfer via USB or the TCP/IP port for
Ethernet transfer.
Some tips about transfer via a USB or Ethernet
interface:
– The procedure described does not work with
Windows 98, Windows ME or
Windows NT 4.0.
– The Share name must satisfy MS-DOS con-
ventions (max. 8 characters length, no spe-
cial characters or spaces)
