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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| successful, follow the instructions in the section “After the |
| Upgrade” (page |
