Command Sequence
Print a
Test/Configuration Page
Momentarily press and release the test button (do not press it for more
than three seconds). A test page will print, and the bi-colored LED will
blink green during printing.
Perform a Cold Reset
(restores factory
defaults)
Press and hold the test button while applying power to the device, and
then allow the unit to initialize (approximately four seconds). All non-
volatile parameters will be reset to their factory default values.
Enter Configuration/
Firmware Upgrade
Mode
Press and hold the test button for five seconds until the bi-colored LED
cycles between amber/green/yellow. A firmware upgrade or device
configuration can now be performed using the Configuration Utility.
After the print adapter is reprogrammed by a firmware upgrade, it will
automatically reboot and then indicate a ready state (solid green LED).
If the firmware upgrade process fails, the print adapter will
automatically reboot and then return to the configuration mode if the
flash memory was not programmed correctly.
Select the Parallel Port
Mode
NOTE:
This parallel port
mode setting should not be
changed unless there is a
compatibility error with your
printer and print adapter.
Press and release the test button four times within three seconds,
holding the fourth press until the bi-colored LED blinks amber, and
then release the test button. The bi-colored LED will indicate each
parallel port modes by cycling through the three available modes three
times as follows:
Blinking amber – ECP mode
Solid amber – compatibility (NACH) mode
Blinking green – compatibility mode (default)
Each mode will be indicated for two seconds and then pause for one
second (LED is off) before indicating the next mode in the cycle.
When the desired mode is indicated, press and release the test button to
select the mode. After a brief pause (LED is off), the selected mode
will be indicated one time as a confirmation before the device
automatically reboots. After the device reboots, you can print a test
page as a record of the hp bt1300’s settings.
