Chapter 2 Introduction

Preparation For Downloading

There are several function code files available for the P5000LJ printers. The file you use depends on the printer emulation in use.

Note	Always upgrade the function code to the latest version available that meets
	the minimum flash memory and DRAM SIMM sizes listed in Table 4.

To verify what function code is already installed, observe the control panel display when the printer is online. If a configuration printout is available, the function code file version is printed at the top of the configuration printout on the line that begins “Program File Version.” For example, if the line is “Program File Version (2.07P Part No. 356351), the number “356351” is the function code download file active at the time the configuration printout was generated.

You can download function code from a networked PC or laptop computer which contains the function code. If the printer has the NIC installed, the function code must be updated via the network to successfully update the NIC firmware. Loading function code via the network is done using the Printronix Remote Management (RMS) software available on the PrintNet Enterprise CD or using the file transfer protocol (ftp) procedure.
