Chapter 1 Installing Printer Emulations

NOTE: The default is no password. If the FTP program requires a password, contact your system administrator.

15.At the password prompt, press <Enter>.

16.Once logged in, type the following sequence at the command prompt to download the filename.prg file to the printer:

cd dest<Enter> cd d1prn<Enter> bin<Enter>

put filename.prg<Enter>

(where filename.prg is the file name you noted in step 9.)

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.

17.As the file downloads, the FTP program shows the progress as a percentage. Once the download is complete, exit out of the FTP program by typing:

quit<Enter>

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

19.Unplug the AC power cord from the printer.

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

21.Using the configuration printout(s), reconfigure the printer and reload any optional font files.

Downloading Optional Font Files to Flash Memory

Optional font files are stored on a 3.5 inch floppy diskette that contains file names comprised of a part number with a .dwn extension. You will insert the diskette in your IBM-compatible computer and use either the parallel or serial port to download the desired font file(s) to the printer’s flash memory.

1.Set the printer power switch to O (off).

2.Connect a parallel data cable to the LPT1 port or a serial cable to the COM1 port of an IBM-compatible computer running the PC-DOS or MS-DOS operating system.

NOTE: You can connect the cable to the LPT2 port on the computer if the LPT1 port is already in use. The load commands are different if you use this port, as described in the notes after step 16.

3.Verify that the data cable is connected to the appropriate I/O port on the printer and to the host computer.

4.Power on the computer and allow it to boot up.

5.On the printer control panel, press and hold down the ONLINE + PAPER ADVANCE keys while powering the printer on. Continue holding the keys down.

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