IBM 1800409-001A - Manual (Page 308)

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 settings, so
you may want to print out an advanced status page from
the Administration/Special Pages submenu so you have
a record of current configuration-menu settings. See
chapter 4, “Printer Configuration,” of your User’s Guide
for information on using the configuration menu..
Installing System Software from a PC to a Functional
Printer
1. Make sure you have PS Executive Series printer utilities
(provided on a disk with your printer) installed on your PC.
Installation instructions are in the README file on the PS
Exec disk.
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.
