APPENDIX
Reloading using the FTP Protocol from a command prompt
By specifying the Print / Fax server PASSWORD AS THE USERNAME when logging on, it becomes possible to upgrade the firmware of the Print / Fax server or printer. The following example assumes that the Print / Fax server password is “cambridge”
D:\>ftp
ftp> open 220.0.250.200 Connected to 220.0.250.200.
220FTP print
User (220.0.250.200:(none)): cambridge

When you see “226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate mode.” You can be sure that the firmware file is being transferred to the Print / Fax server. If you do not see this message, the file you are sending to the MFC will either be ignored or the printer will print garbage.
You must use the “bin” command to put the FTP client into Binary communications mode. If you do not specify the bin command the upgrade process will not function correctly.
NOTE:
AFTER SENDING FIRMWARE TO THE MFC, DO NOT TURN OFF THE MFC UNTIL AFTER THE MFC HAS PERFORMED AN AUTOMATIC RESTART.
