A progress indicator (bar) and DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE appears on the
display during the download; alternatively, an error message is displayed:
BOO = Boot block
PRG = Firmware
GEN = Character set or font (character generator)
P+G = Firmware and character set
The number of the currently transferred data block (frame) is displayed in
addition in the top line of the display on the right.
DOWNLOAD OK is displayed briefly when the procedure has been com-
pleted successfully. The printer then runs through its initialisation routine,
after which it is ready for use.
It is possible to repeat the download separately, e.g. firmware followed
by character generator.
➤
Loading the operating
system for the first time
Connect your DOS PC (LPT1:) to the parallel port on the printer. Start
from no. 3 in the description above.
➤
Troubleshooting
It is necessary to repeat the entire procedure if an error occurs during
the download. This is indicated by a corresponding message on the dis-
play. It may be that not all fault messages can be shown on the display.
In this case, the operating system of your PC displays an error message
such as “Write error on device
…
”.
