Procedure C

Upgrading the Printer Software

Procedure C

The Parallel Port

 

Once the upgrade process has begun do not power

 

off your printer!

 

1 Print a Configuration Sheet and a Diagnostics Page.

 

Keep these pages for future reference. For directions on

 

doing this, refer to page 1-101.

 

2 The parallel port on the printer must be in Auto mode.

 

Check the Configuration Sheet previously printed. In the

 

Parallel Settings section the Mode should be set to Auto. If

 

it is not you will need to set this through the printer’s

 

Control Panel or CentreWare DP. For directions on doing

 

this through the Control Panel, refer to page 1-52.

 

3 Send the upgrade file to the printer.

 

An OS/2 user should open a command prompt.

 

A Windows(95/NT/3.1x) user should run from DOS or run

 

a DOS session. For speed, it is recommended to exit

 

Windows and run from DOS.

 

The format for the copy command is as follows:

 

copy /b <filename> <port>[RETURN]

 

Where:

 

<port> = the parallel port to which the printer is

 

connected (LPT1:,LPT2:, etc.)

 

<filename> = the path and name of the upgrade file

 

Ex: copy 3_3_4.xfc LPT1

 

4 To see if your upgrade was successful, see the section

 

“Determining a Successful Upgrade” (page 4-20). If

 

successful, follow the instructions in the section “After the

 

Upgrade” (page 4-20).
