NOTE: Software loads at 9600 baud if you load through the serial port with a
DOS command. This can take a long time. Software loads much
faster through the parallel port.
When you power up in download mode (step 8) the printer is ready to
accept data from all ports. When the printer receives data from one of
the ports (based on the load command you give) the other ports shut
down.
IMPORTANT
Do not interrupt the downloading process once it has started.
Interrupting a download will leave the flash memory on the controller
PCBA incompletely loaded, and the printer may not boot up.
While the file is copied into memory, the printer LCD informs you of the
load process and status.
13. When the new software has successfully loaded into flash memory and
the printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (Off).
14. If required, reconnect the data input cable(s) to the printer.
15. Set the printer power switch to | (On).
16. Using the configuration printout(s) you made in step 3 on page 268,
restore the printer configurations. (Refer to the printer User’s Manual .)
Loading Software Through The Ethernet
IMPORTANT
To load software through the Ethernet, you need the IP Address of the
printer and the flash memory must contain basic printer code. If the
flash memory was replaced, or if a download was interrupted (e.g., by a
power outage), you must load software through the parallel port.
(See “Downloading Software If Flash Contains Only Boot Code” on
page 273.)
There are two methods of downloading printer software through the
NIC. This method requires the printer to currently have a certain level of
software already loaded onto the machine. See step 1 for details.
1. Make a configuration printout of all saved configurations. (Refer to the
User’s Manual.) Ensure that the Reference Number on the configuration
printout is 368952 or higher. If the Reference Number is less than
368952, then STOP, and do not continue this process. You can still
download printer software through the NIC, but you need to follow the
instructions in the next section titled: Downloading Software Through The
NIC Using FTP (page 271).
2. Using Windows Explorer, create a directory named download at the root
level of your C: hard drive ( C:\download ).
3. Download the printer emulation and operating system software from
www.infoprint.com (choose Support & Maintain, then Online Hardware
and Software Support) into the directory you created in step 2.
4. Set the printer power switch to O (Off).
5. Connect the ethernet cable to the printer interface.
