Configuring the Printer

26. Type the following at the DOS prompt:

DIR

You will see a directory listing containing the file

part_num.exe,

where the filename is the six digit number (e.g., 123456.zip) you noted

above. Write down the complete name of the file with the

.exe

extension. This is the file you will download into the printer.

27. On the printer control panel, press and hold down the ON LINE+PAGE

EJECT keys. Without releasing the keys, power the printer on.

Continue holding the ON LINE and PAGE EJECT keys down for five

seconds, then release.

28. When you see “WAITING FOR FILE DOWNLOAD” on the LCD, at the

DOS prompt on the computer type, for example:

123456.exe –pb

where

123456.exe

is the emulation file you noted in step 26 (for an

emulation on multiple diskettes) This command expands the emulation

file, then copies it as a binary file into the flash memory in the printer.

NOTE: If you are downloading the file using the LPT2 port on the computer,

enter the following DOS command, for example:

123456.exe –pb2

29. While the file is being copied into memory, the printer LCD informs you

of the load process and status. (Messages are listed in the table on

page 3–60.)

30. Wait until the new program has successfully loaded into printer memory.

31. If you have any additional software to install (logo, form, TIFF, setup, or

font files), continue with step 32. If you have no additional software to

install, skip to step 43

32. Set the printer power switch to O (off).

33. On the printer control panel, press and hold down the ON LINE+PAGE

EJECT keys. Without releasing the keys, power the printer on. Continue

holding the ON LINE and PAGE EJECT keys down for five seconds,

then release.
