Using the IMCU for Maintenance: Advantages
30. Using the
IMCU
for Maintenance
30.1.
Advantages
The
IMCU
has three great advantages when working with one
print server at a time:
•
It allows you to incorporate the process of checking for
and downloading new firmware versions in to your
loading procedure.
•
It
initiates and controls an FTP session and saves you
from having to know library and file names in the print
server’s FTP directory. (However, in order to find
appropriate information in the documentation, you still
need to be aware of the different file types as listed on
page 213
.)
•
It allows you to transfer settings directly from one print
server to another (see
page 215
).
The
IMCU
also makes it possible to do bulk upgrades, that is to
update several print servers simultaneously. This assumes that
all the print servers you want to include in a bulk upgrade have
the same password.
Note:
You must use Internet Explorer 4.01 or later to be
able to upload a file from your local computer. Any
version of Netscape should work also, but this has
not been thoroughly tested.
