14.4 How to Perform an Update
You can perform software updates. Updates allow you to benefit
from currently developed features.
What Happens
During an Update?
In the course of an update, the old software will be overwritten and
replaced by the new software. The configuration parameters retain
their original settings.
When Is an Update
Recommended?
An update should be undertaken if some functions do not work
properly and if has released a new software version with new
functions or bug fixes.
Check the currently installed software version of your print server.
The version number can be found in the print server list of the
PRINTSERVER-NetTool. You can also start the PRINTSERVER
Homepage and select Status - General.
Where Do I Find the
Update Files?
You can download the current software files from the website of the
manufacturer. Different update files are available depending on
your print server model.
Every update file has its own ’readme’ file. Take note of the
information contained in the ’readme’.
Update Types A print server update can be carried out manually (standard update)
or automatically (dynamic update).
• In the case of a standard update, the update file is downloaded
manually from a server or a data medium and saved in the print
server.
• With a dynamic update, polling is performed each time the print
server is restarted to determine whether, in the meantime, a
later version of the software file has been stored on the specified
file server. If this is the case, the software file is automatically
saved in the print server via FTP.
