Loading Software Through The Ethernet
6. Set the printer power switch to | (On).
7. Wait until you see “ONLINE” on the LCD before doing the next step. This
can take about a minute to appear, depending on the emulations and
interfaces installed in the printer.
8. Start a command prompt session. (The Start Menu icon is usually labeled
MS-DOS
®
Prompt or Command Prompt .)
9. Ensure that your computer can communicate with the printer by using the
Ping command to ping the printer's IP address (for example: ping
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). You should see a reply from the NIC (packets sent and
received). If you receive an error or a Request Timed Out message, see
your system administrator.
10. At the command prompt type:
C:
<Enter>
cd \download
<Enter>
11. Enter the following command:
filename .exe -n xxx . xxx . xxx . xxx
<Enter>
where filename .exe is the file name you noted in step 3 and
xxx . xxx . xxx . xxx is the IP address of the printer. This command takes the
file on the hard drive and copies it as a binary file into the flash memory
on the printer controller board.
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
download process and status.
12. When the new software has successfully downloaded into flash memory
and the printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (Off).
13. If required, reconnect the data input cable(s) to the printer.
14. Set the printer power switch to | (On).
15. Using the configuration printout(s) you made in step 1 on page 269,
restore the printer configurations.
