Without releasing the keys, power the printer on, and continue
holding the keys down until you see “TESTING HARDWARE
PLEASE WAIT” on the LCD. You may then release the keys.
4. Wait until you see “WAITING FOR PROGRAM DOWNLOAD”
on the LCD before proceeding. This can take up to 30 seconds
to appear, depending on the emulations and interfaces
installed in the printer.
5. Using Windows Explorer, create a directory named download
at the root level of your C: hard drive.
6. Insert the printer emulation software CD into your computer.
7. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the appropriate file on the
CD (using the Unzipped directory) based on the printer type,
and desired emulation.
IMPORTANT
You must use the Unzipped directory, since this contains the
uncompressed files necessary for NIC download.
8. Make note of the file name, which is a six digit number plus
.prg , e.g., 123456.prg.
This is the file you will download into the NIC.
9. Copy the file to the download directory.
10. Start a command prompt session. (The Start Menu icon is
usually labeled
MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt.)
11. At the command prompt type:
C:
<Enter>
cd \download
<Enter>
12. Start the FTP protocol by typing:
ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
<Enter>
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents the IP Address of the
printer.)
