Remote firmware update using the LPR command

NOTE This remote firmware update method is for use in Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000,

Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.

Follow these instructions to update the printer software remotely by using the LPR command.

From a command window, type: lpr -P <IPADDRESS> -S <IPADDRESS> -o l <FILENAME>

or lpr -S <IPADDRESS> -Pbinps <FILENAME> where <IPADDRESS> can be either the TCP/

IP address or the hostname of the printer, and where <FILENAME> is the filename of the RFU

file.

NOTE The parameter (-o l) consists of a lowercase "O", not a zero, and a lowercase "L",

not the numeral 1. This parameter sets the transport protocol to binary mode.

2 Press Enter. A message appears on the control panel. See Printer messages during firmware

update. At the end of the upgrade process, Ready appears on the control panel.

Type the word “exit” at the command prompt to close the command window.
