Chapter 1 Installing Printer Emulations

CAUTION Do not interrupt the downloading process once it has started. Interrupting a download will damage the flash memory on the controller board and NIC.

While the file is copied into memory, the printer LCD informs you of the load process and status.

23.When the new program has successfully loaded into memory and the printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (Off).

24.Unplug the AC power cord from the printer.

25.Remove the CD from the host computer and store it with the printer.

26.Power off the computer.

27.If you had to install a data cable to the computer and printer in step 6, disconnect it from the computer and printer.

28.If required, reconnect the data input cable(s) to the printer.

Using the configuration printout(s) you made in step 1, reconfigure the printer and reload any optional font files.

Downloading Software Through the

Network Interface Card (NIC)

1.Make a printout of all saved configurations. (Installing new software erases all saved configurations. You will use the printouts to restore the printer configurations.)

2.Set the printer power switch to O (Off).

3.On the printer control panel, press and hold down the ONLINE + PAPER ADVANCE keys. Without releasing the keys, power the printer on. Continue holding the keys down.

4.When you see “TESTING HARDWARE PLEASE WAIT” on the LCD, release the keys.

5.Wait until you see “WAITING FOR PROGRAM DOWNLOAD” on the LCD before proceeding. This can take up to 30 seconds to appear, depending on the emulations and interfaces installed in the printer.

6.Using Windows Explorer, create a directory named download at the root level of your C: hard drive.

7.Insert the printer emulation software CD into your computer.
