Downloading Software Through The USB Port
15. Once logged in, type the following sequence at the command prompt to
download the filename .prg file to the printer:
cd dest
<Enter>
cd d1prn
<Enter>
bin
<Enter>
put filename .prg
<Enter>
where
filename
.prg is the file name you noted in step 11.
IMPORTANT
Do not interrupt the downloading process once it has started.
Interrupting a download will leave the flash memory on the controller
PCBA and ethernet incompletely loaded, and the printer may not boot
up.
16. When the download is complete, exit the FTP program by typing:
quit
<Enter>
17. When the new software has successfully downloaded into flash memory
and the printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (Off).
18. If required, reconnect the data input cable(s) to the printer.
19. Set the printer power switch to | (On).
20. Using the configuration printout(s) you made in step 3 on page 271,
restore the printer configurations.
Downloading Software Through The USB Port
Normally the host communicates with the printer’s USB port with a Windows
driver. The Windows driver cannot be used to transfer a program file to the
printer.
To download software through the USB Port, perform the following steps:
1. Using Windows Explorer, create a directory named download at the root
level of your C: hard drive ( C:\download ).
2. 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 1.
3. Make the printer sharable on the host PC. This is done through the
printer’s Properties\Sharing tab. Make note of the printer’s shared name.
4. Start a command prompt session. (The Start Menu icon is usually labeled
MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt .)
5. Type filename.exe and press Enter (where filename is the software file
you downloaded in step 2). The file will now now inflate and you will see
an additional file called filename.prg.
