Parallel Port
This is the recommended method for downloading from an IBM or
compatible PC because it is the fastest method and because no addi-
tional cables or changes of port settings are necessary.
After you have installed the system software, as described in the pre-
vious section, use the following procedure to update the system soft-
ware in flash memory.
» Note:
If you’re using a serial port, skip to the following section, “PC—
Serial Port.”
1 Turn on the printer, wait for
IDLE
to appear in the message
window, and then print an advanced status page.
This procedure should not change the current configuration set-
tings. However, the advanced status page provides a record of all
current configuration settings, so you can verify that they are the
same after the system software has been updated.
2 Take the printer off line.
3 Access the Administration/Miscellaneous/New Flash Image
menu.
4 Select Yes in the New Flash Image menu.
The printer waits for the new system software (image) to be sent
via your PC’s parallel port. (
YES
remains in the message window
until the new image is sent.)
5 Send the new image to the printer.
Type

is 1 to 3. (/b refers to binary files.) If you’re not sure of the
number of the parallel port, check your PC’s documentation.
