1) Single selection
When only one printer is selected from the list on the main menu:
First the upload start confirmation display is shown. Selecting YES
in this menu deletes the firmware and starts uploading. During
uploading, the process indication bar is displayed on the firmware
upload menu.
After completion of uploading, the firmware upload menu is closed
and the control returns to the main menu.
2) Plural selection (without confirmation)
When two or more printers are selected from the list on the main
menu, and a check mark is not put to "When uploading to multiple
units, display a confirmation prompt for each unit."
In this case, the upload start confirmation menu is displayed only
once when starting the first writing. Selecting YES in this menu
starts writing the firmware to the selected printers continuously.
The operations during and after writing are the same as "Single
selection."
3) Plural selection (with confirmation)
When two or more printers are selected from the list on the main
menu, and a check mark is put to "When uploading to multiple
units, display a confirmation prompt for each unit."
In this case, the upload start confirmation menu is displayed and
delete/uploading of the firmware is made for each of the selected
printers. (This series of operations is repeated for each printer.) If
NO is selected in the confirmation menu, uploading is not per-
formed and the control goes to the confirmation menu of the next
printer. The operations during and after writing are the same as
"Single selection."

E. Test print
After selecting a desired printer from the list, select COMMUNICATION
a TEST PRINT on the menu or press the TEST PRINT button, and the
test print of the selected printer will be performed. This function is used
for troubleshooting.
Similarly to the firmware uploading, there are three patterns: Single
selection, Plural selection (without confirmation), and Plural selection
(with confirmation).
If the test print packet that is sending fails, an error message is dis-
played. (Refer to "5. Error message list." In the case of normal comple-
tion, no message is displayed.

4. Notes during/after uploading
During and after uploading, take care of the following notes:
(a) During uploading, the printer power should not be turned off and
the network cable should not be disconnected. If they should,
uploading will not performed normally and the firmware will be bro-
ken.
If the firmware should be broken due to an accident during upload-
ing, retrieval by the version up tool may not be responded. In such
a case, reboot the printer with the jumper switch No. 1 at ON, and
the network card will be booted in the forcible loader mode to make
responding to retrieval.
This operation is performed similarly to both cases when the IPX/
SPX protocol is used and when the packet driver is used. There
are no limitations.
(b) When the composition of the setup information differs between dif-
ferent versions before and after uploading, the content of setup
may be broken after completion of uploading. (This information will
be given with version-up bin file.)
In such a case, the setup shadd be returned to the initial factory
setup. Then use the setup tool and a Web browser to make setup
again.
