Introduction
Downloading the function code is equivalent to updating firmware in the
printer. This chapter explains how to load function code into P5000LJ printers.
You must download function code when:
•
you require upgraded firmware for maintenance or other reasons;
•
the CMX controller board is replaced;
•
the flash memory SIMM is replaced;
•
the NIC is installed or replaced;
•
you need different emulation software or buy the VGL or PGL graphics
option after the printer is installed.
Downloading In A Nutshell
Updating the function code in a P5000LJ printer consists of three tasks:
1.
Obtaining the appropriate download file and loading it into the PC or
laptop you will use to download the code into the printer.
2.
Obtaining the appropriate interface cable if necessary.
3.
Printing all saved configurations in the printer, making the function code
upgrade, and restoring your saved printer configurations.
