Chapter 2 Installing Printer Emulations

Note

You must use the Unzipped directory, since this contains the

 

uncompressed files necessary for NIC download.

9.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.

10.Copy the file to the download directory.

11.Start a command prompt session. (The Start Menu icon is usually labeled MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt.)

12.At the command prompt type:

C:<Enter>

cd \download<Enter>

13.Start the FTP protocol by typing:

ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx<Enter>

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

14.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.

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

16.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 9.)

Caution

Do not interrupt the downloading process once it has started.

 

Interrupting a download will damage the flash memory on the

 

controller board and the NIC.

 

 

17.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>
