The downloading process takes about 5 minutes, depending on
the size of the file and the speed of your PC. The Transparency
indicator blinks as the new system image is copied to flash ROM.
After the updated system software has been written to flash
ROM, the printer reboots with the new system image, prints a
start-up page, and returns to
IDLE
.
» Note:
The new flash image does not erase the old image until the
printer verifies that the new image is valid.
11 Print another advanced status page, and verify that the current
configuration settings match the previous configuration set-
tings (on the advanced status page printed in step 5).
12 If there are differences in the configuration settings, correct
them through the printer configuration menu.
Downloading System Software to a Non-
Functional Printer
If the print system software is functional (the printer starts up nor-
mally, and
IDLE
displays in the message window), go to “Download-
ing System Software to a Functional Printer—SYSTEMDL.PS” on
page 48 or “Downloading System Software to a Functional Printer—
SYSTEM.DL” on page 51.
If the print system software is non-functional (the printer can’t start
up), use these instructions to download the system software.
» Note: Before you can use these instructions, you must have
decompressed the system software, as described in the previous
section.
