Upgrading NIC Firmware and Resetting NIC to Factory Defaults

Appendix C Upgrading NIC Firmware and Resetting NIC to Factory Defaults

C.1 Upgrading the Flash EPROMs

The Flash EPROM memory feature allows you to upgrade future Þrmware releases without opening the unit and replacing the EPROM chip.

If the download is successful, the unit will reset itself and run the new Þrmware. If the download fails, the ßash job will print; one of the Þrmware banks will become corrupt, the NIC may become inoperable, or the ßash job will be rejected when the checksum is determined invalid.

Resetting the NIC terminates any print jobs in progress.

Repeat the download of the Þle if the download fails printing to the printer, although failure usually means that the Þle is incorrect.

C.2 Using the Network Download Procedure

ConÞrm that you have the latest Þrmware version using a Telnet session or the Kodak NIC Manager. Check the Kodak Web site (www.kodak.com) to Þnd out if the Þrmware has been upgraded. To upgrade your system, complete the steps in section C.2.1.

C.2.1 Downloading the Flash Image

To perform a network-based upgrade of the Flash EPROMs Þrmware =>4.8:

1.Verify that the network download option is enabled.

2.Download the Þle to the printer, without sending the print job through the printer driver.

Note: Downloading Þrmware may take up to 10 minutes. A useful tool for downloading and monitoring progress is the Windows FastManage Discovery tool. Use Discovery > Action > TFTP. A NIC telnet session will also provide an indication that the NIC is accepting the Þrmware.
