Printer Maintenance
Parallel Upgrade
1. Press Menu. Select System, then select Upgrade.
2. Use the arrow keys to choose Yes to begin upgrading the printer software,
or No to cancel. The printer will reset, and the display will read Waiting for
parallel data...
3. If you have not already done so, connect the Centronics connector end of
the parallel cable to the printer’s parallel port. Connect the male 25-pin end
of the cable to the desired LPT port on the host computer.
4. If you are not running Windows 95, skip this step. For Windows 95 users:
1. Select Start, Settings, Control Panel.
2. Double-click on the Printers icon. With the right mouse button,
click on any printer currently assigned to the LPT port to be used.
(If you have installed the QLS Windows printer driver, the QLS
printer should be set up in this manner.)
3. Select the Properties menu item, then click on the Details tab in the
Properties window.
4. Click on the Port Settings button. Confirm that the Spool MS-
DOS print jobs box is not checked. Exit the dialog.
5. Insert the upgrade diskette into the disk drive. To run the upgrade program,
type the word upgrade followed by the LPT port that is being used. Use all
lowercase letters. For example, if LPT1 is used, type: upgrade lpt1
6. The computer will begin copying files to the printer, and the printer’s Data
LED will flash. The printer will display the file it is receiving and the
percentage received. When data transmission is finished, the printer will
erase, then re-program its flash memory, and reset itself. The printer is now
ready for use.
