Downloading Software Through The Network Interface Card (NIC)

7.Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the appropriate file on the CD (using the Unzipped directory) based on the printer type, and desired emulation, e.g., Unzipped ￿T5000 ￿IGP.

(See Figure 42.)

IMPORTANT You must use the Unzipped directory, since this contains the uncompressed files necessary for NIC download.

8.Make note of the file name, which is a six digit number plus

.prg, e.g., 123456.prg.

This is the file you will download into the NIC.

9.Copy the file to the download directory.

10.Start a command prompt session. (The Start Menu icon is usually labeled

MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt.)

11.At the command prompt type:

C:<Enter>

cd \download<Enter>

12.Start the FTP protocol by typing:

ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx<Enter>

(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents the IP Address of the printer.)

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.)
