8825/8830 Controller Setup Manual for Firmware 6.0 12
Controller Overview (continued)
Over The Wire Firmware Upgrading
Coinciding with the release of Firmware 4.0 and the availability of the new
Web Printer Manager Tool, it is now possible to upgrade Firmware versions
with new releases by sending a file to the Controller over the network, serial,
or parallel cable connection.
Customers can obtain new Firmware releases from the internet or in the form
of a CD ROM upgrade. If obtaining the Firmware from the internet, go to
www.xes.com and follow the instructions provided.
Use the Document Submission Tool (part of AccXES Client Tools) or the
Web Printer Manager Tool to send the downloaded Firmware upgrade to the
Controller. Note that the Web PMT includes a handy Upload button on the
"Upload File" page to assist in sending the new Firmware upgrade to the
Controller.
Note: For upgrading existing Firmware version 2.7 (or newer) to a new
release, existing parameter settings will not be reset to factory defaults.
Parameters that are new in the upgraded release will simply be assigned
new factory defaults. For upgrading existing Firmware 2.5 or older, print
out a full set of Test Prints (from the Printer Control Panel’s “Utilities”
menu) BEFORE performing the upgrade as all settings will be returned to
their Factory Defaults and you will lose your custom settings for the
Active Parameters set. For Active Parameters Set information, see
“Setting the Active Parameters Option” in this manual.
