Installing Print System Software and Fonts
Print system software and font backup disks are supplied with the
printer in case you ever need to reinstall them. For example, if the
printer’s internal hard disk is reformatted, the system software and
fonts will need to be reinstalled.
The procedure for downloading system software depends on
whether the printer software is functional (the printer starts up
normally and
IDLE
appears in the message window) or
non-functional (the system software cannot start up), and whether
you are sending from a PC or a Macintosh. Printer fonts would only
ever need to be reinstalled if the printer software is not functional.
NOTE: When you reload the system software, the printer
configuration is returned to its factory default setting.

Installation instructions are in the README file on the PS

2. Make sure the printer is on and that the system software is
functioning normally (
IDLE
appears in the message
window). If the system software is not functioning, see
“Installing System Software and Fonts from a PC to a
Non-Functional Printer,” below.
3. Insert the System Software/DOS disk (provided with your
printer) into your PC’s floppy disk drive.
