You can upgrade the AXIS 1440 flash memory using either of the following:

• AXIS NetPilot (for networks supporting IPX/SPX).

• FTP (for networks supporting TCP/IP).

Contact your EPSON dealer if the above methods fail, or call EPSON at (310) 782-2600 (U.S.) or (905) 709-9475 (Canada) 6 AM to 6 PM, Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. The AXIS NetPilot and FTP upgrade procedures are described on the following pages.
