Installing Printer Emulations

9.

Make note of the file name, which is a six digit number plus .prg,
e.g., 123456.prg.
This is the file you will download into the NIC.

10. Copy the file to the download directory.

11. Start a command prompt session. (The Start Menu icon is usually labeled

MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt.)

12. At the command prompt type:

C:

cd \download

13. Start the FTP protocol by typing:

ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents the IP Address of the printer.)

14. Log in to the printer by typing:

root

You are given a password prompt.

15. At the password prompt, press .

16. Once logged in, type the following sequence at the command prompt to

download the filename.prg file to the printer:

cd dest

cd d1prn

bin

put filename.prg

(where filename.prg is the file name you noted in step 9.)

17. As the file downloads, the FTP program shows the progress as a

percentage. Once the download is complete, exit out of the FTP program
by typing:

quit

Note

You must use the Unzipped directory, since this contains the
uncompressed files necessary for NIC download.

Note

The default is no password. If the FTP program requires a password,
contact your system administrator.

Caution

Do not interrupt the downloading process once it has started.
Interrupting a download will damage the flash memory on the
controller board and the NIC.
