Loading Software Through The NIC
269
8. Open the readme.txt file on the CD-ROM. There are two emulation sets
with corresponding part number files from which to choose:
CT / IPDS / IGP / ZGL / TGL / IGL / STGL
TN / IGP / ZGL / TGL / IGL / STGL
Both emulations include the LP+ emulation. They are offered in two file
formats: .exe and .prg. Use .prg files to download through the NIC.
9. Identify which emulation set you want to load into the printer and note the
filename that corresponds to that emulation. The filename is a six digit
number plus .prg. For example: 123456.prg
This is the file you will download into the NIC.
10. Copy the file to the download directory you created in step 6.
11. Start a command prompt session in Windows. (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 (file transfer protocol) program by typing:
ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx<Enter>
(where
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is 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 the 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)
IMPORTANT Do not interrupt the downloading process once it has started.
Interrupting a download will leave the flash memory on the controller
PCBA and NIC incompletely loaded, and the printer may not boot up.
17. When the download is complete, exit the FTP program by typing:
quit<Enter>
18. When the new software has successfully loaded into flash memory and
the printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (Off).
19. Remove the CD-ROM from the host computer and store it with the printer.
20. If required, reconnect the data input cable(s) to the printer.
21. Set the printer power switch to | (On).
22. Using the configuration printout(s) you made in step 1, page 268, restore
the printer configurations. (Refer to the printer
User’s Manual .)
