Downloading Software Through The Network Interface Card (NIC)

13. Log in to the printer by typing:

root<Enter>

You are given a password prompt.

NOTE: The default is no password. If the FTP program requires a password, contact your system administrator.

14.At the password prompt, press <Enter>.

15.Once logged in, type the following sequence at the command prompt to download the filename.prg file to the printer:

cd dest<Enter> cd d1prn<Enter> bin<Enter>

put filename.prg<Enter>

(where filename.prg is the file name you noted in step 8.)

CAUTION Do not interrupt the downloading process once it has started. Interrupting a download will damage the flash memory on the controller board and NIC card.

16.As the file downloads, the FTP program shows the progress as a percentage. Once the download is complete, exit out of the FTP program by typing:

quit<Enter>

17.When the new program has successfully loaded into flash memory and the printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (off).

18.Unplug the AC power cord from the printer.

19.Remove the CD from the host computer and store it with the printer.

20.Using the configuration printout(s), reconfigure the printer and reload any optional font files.
