Command Prompt

By specifying the print server PASSWORD AS THE USERNAME
when logging on, it becomes possible to upgrade the firmware of the
print server or printer (if supported). The following example assumes
that the print server password is "

cambridge

"

D:\>ftp

If you encounter problems upgrading the firmware and you
find that the network portion of the printer no longer functions,
you should try re-programming the print server by using the
COPY command from the DOS prompt of your PC. To do
this, connect a parallel cable between your PC and printer
and use the command

COPY filename LPT1:/B

(where

filename

is the new firmware file).
