Downloading Software If Flash Contains Only Boot Code
If the flash memory contains only boot code (e.g., if it is new), or if a download
was interrupted (e.g., by a power outage), you must download software

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 sure the printer’s parallel port is available. In some configurations,
you may have to re-install the Centronics
®
I/O cable and connector in
order to load basic software into the printer.
4. Set the printer power switch to O (Off).
5. Disconnect the data (signal) cable(s) from the printer interface
connectors.
6. Connect a parallel data printer cable to the LPT1 port or LPT2 port of an
IBM-compatible computer running the Windows (95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, or
XP) operating system.
