12. When the printer download port you want to use is displayed on the LCD,
press ENTER. “WAITING DOWNLOAD / PORT = <
your selection
>”
appears on the display.
13. Select the download command appropriate to the port being used, as
follows:
Parallel Port LPT1 is used:
At the DOS prompt on the computer type:
filename
.exe -pb<Return>
Where
filename
is a function code file, such as “356351.exe -pb”.
This command decompresses the file and copies it as a binary file into the
printer’s flash memory.Parallel Port LPT2 is used:
At the DOS prompt on the computer type:
filename
.exe -pb 2<Return>
Where
filename
is a function code file, such as
“
356351.exe -pb 2”. This command decompresses the file and
copies it as a binary file into the printer’s flash memory.
Serial Port is used:
The baud rate information you enter in the following DOS commands
must match the selection you made in step 11. The 9600 baud rate is the
only selection older versions of DOS can use.
At the DOS prompt on the computer type:
MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P<Return>
filename
.exe -pbc1<Return>
Where
filename
is a function code file, such as “356351.exe -pbc1”.
This command decompresses the file and copies it as a binary file into the
printer’s flash memory.
14. While the file is copied into memory, the printer LCD informs you of the
load process and status. (Messages are explained in Table 21, page
260.) When the new function code has successfully loaded into flash
memory and the printer has reset itself (the LCD momentarily goes
blank), the printer will put itself in ONLINE mode.
Caution Do not interrupt the downloading process once it has started.
Interrupting a download will damage the flash memory on the
controller board and Print Server card (if installed).
