your printer.

Step 6: Upgrade the Modem’s Firmware

Use one of the flash programs that you extracted to upgrade your mo-
dem. There are three flash programs: DOSFLASH.ZIP for DOS or Win-
dows 3.1, FLASHWIN for Windows 3.1 or Windows 95, and FLASHNT
for Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.

DOSFLASH

1. Copy DOSFLASH.ZIP and the downloaded .HEX file to a temporary

directory.

2. Unzip DOSFLASH.ZIP.

3. To upgrade the modem, run DOSFLASH by using the command

dflash10

x y, in which x is the number of the port the modem is

connected to and

y is the IRQ number for the port. The IRQ number

is optional if you are using the standard IRQ number for the port.
For example, if your modem is connected to COM2, and COM2 has
IRQ 3 assigned to it, which is standard for that port, type either
dflash10 2 or dflash10 2 3.
