17.When the printer download port you want to use is displayed on the LCD, press ENTER. “WAITING DOWNLOAD / PORT = <your selection>” appears on the display.
18.At the DOS prompt on the computer type:
FILENAME.EXE -pb<Return>
where FILENAME.EXE is the compressed file you noted in step 12. This command decompresses the file on the diskette and copies it as a binary file into the flash memory on the printer controller board.
NOTE: If you are downloading the file using the LPT2 port on the PC, enter the following DOS command:
FILENAME.EXE -pb 2 <Return>
If you are downloading the file into the printer serial port, enter the following DOS commands*:
MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P<Return>
FILENAME.EXE -pb c1<Return>
*9600 is the only rate older versions of DOS can use; otherwise, type the digits corresponding to the rate you selected in step 16.
19.While the file is copied into memory, the printer LCD informs you of the load process and status. (See Table 16.)
20.When the new program has successfully loaded into memory and the printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (off).
21.Unplug the AC power cord from the printer.
22.Remove the diskette from the host computer and store it with the printer.
23.Power off the host computer.
24.If you had to install a parallel data cable to the computer and printer, disconnect it from the computer and printer.
25.Reconnect the data input cable(s) to the printer, if required.
26.Return the printer to normal operation.
27.Using the configuration printout(s) you made in step 1, reconfigure the printer. (Refer to Chapter 4.)
