APPENDIX

Reloading process

The Data LED on the printer front panel will blink during the firmware file loading process and then Alarm LED will turn on and the Ready LED will blink during the programming process, and the printer will restart automatically after the programming has completed. DON'T TURN OFF THE PRINTER DURING THESE PROCESSES.

If the Data LED does not stop blinking after about two minutes, or Alarm and the other LED blink periodically, check to make sure that you correctly entered all parameters and that your network connections are good. Then power the print server/printer off and then on again, to retry the download.

If you encounter problems upgrading the firmware and you find that the network portion of the printer no longer functions, you should try re-programming the print server by using the COPY command from the DOS prompt of your PC. To do this, connect a parallel cable between your PC and printer and use the command "COPY filename LPT1:/B" (where filename is the new firmware file). Please note that it is not possible to upgrade the NC-2000 series firmware using the COPY command. For NC-2000 series print servers please use BRAdmin or the TFTP protocol for firmware upgrading.
