You will also need to have copies of the updated firmware. Firmware updates are contained in to related files, a larger one with a .bin extension, and a smaller one having a .dwl extension. Both of these files are necessary for the download to be completed successfully.

2.Choose Download Firmware... from the EtherP Admin Tools menu. The print server will ask for the filename of the updated .bin image file.

3.Type in the pathname of the .bin file, or click the Browse... button to locate the file using a standard dialog box.

4.Click OK. EtherP Admin will display an informational warning message.

5.Click OK. The download will begin. EtherP Admin will display the progress of the download.

6.When downloading is complete, EtherP Admin will display an informational message.

WARNING: When downloading the image file, be very careful not to interrupt the transfer by powering down the print server or disconnecting it from the network. The print server should be able to recover from an interrupted transfer in most cases, However, in some situations it may be necessary to return your print server for servicing in order to recover from an interrupted download.
