Reloading using the FTP Protocol
from a 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
ftp> open 220.0.250.200
Connected to 220.0.250.200.
220 FTP print service:V-1.05/Use the network password for
the ID if updating.

When you see “226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate mode.” You can be
sure that the firmware file is being transferred to the print server. If you do not see
this message, the file you are sending to the printer will either be ignored or the
printer will print garbage.
You must use the “bin” command to put the FTP client into Binary communications
mode. If you do not specify the bin command the upgrade process will not function
correctly.
