3Take the printer off line.

4Access the Administration/Miscellaneous/New Flash Image menu.

5Select Yes in the New Flash Image menu.

The printer waits for the new system software (image) to be sent from your Macintosh. (YES remains in the message window until the new image is sent.)

6Send the new system software image to the printer.

a At the Macintosh, double-click the SystemLoader icon.

bIn the dialog box that appears, make sure the correct download port is selected, and then choose the Send button to start the download.

The downloading process takes about 10 minutes, depend- ing on the size of the file and the speed of your Macintosh. The Ready indicator blinks as the new system image is writ- ten to flash ROM. After the updated system software has been written to flash ROM, the message Download Com- plete! appears on the Macintosh screen, the printer reboots with the new system image, prints a start-up page, and returns to IDLE.

»Note: The new flash image does not erase the old image until the printer verifies that the new image is valid.

7Print another advanced status page, and verify that the con- figuration settings match the previous configuration settings (on the advanced status page printed in step 2).

8If there are differences, correct them through the printer con- figuration menu.

9On your Macintosh hard disk, delete the folder containing the SYSTEMLOADER application.
