Using the IMCU for Maintenance: Advantages

30. Using the IMCU for Maintenance

30.1. Advantages

The IMCU has three great advantages when working with one print server at a time:

•It allows you to incorporate the process of checking for and downloading new firmware versions in to your loading procedure.

•It initiates and controls an FTP session and saves you from having to know library and file names in the print server’s FTP directory. (However, in order to find appropriate information in the documentation, you still need to be aware of the different file types as listed on page 213.)

•It allows you to transfer settings directly from one print server to another (see page 215).

The IMCU also makes it possible to do bulk upgrades, that is to update several print servers simultaneously. This assumes that all the print servers you want to include in a bulk upgrade have the same password.

Note: You must use Internet Explorer 4.01 or later to be able to upload a file from your local computer. Any version of Netscape should work also, but this has not been thoroughly tested.
