Installing Printer Emulations

22. At the command prompt on the computer type:

filename.exe -pb

<Enter>

where filename.exe is the file name you noted in step 18. This command
decompresses the file on the hard drive and copies it as a binary file into
the flash memory on the printer controller board.

While the file is copied into memory, the printer LCD informs you of the
load process and status.

23. When the new program has successfully loaded into memory and the

printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (Off).

24. Unplug the AC power cord from the printer.

25. Remove the CD from the host computer and store it with the printer.

26. Power off the computer.

27. If you had to install a data cable to the computer and printer in step 6.,

disconnect it from the computer and printer.

28. If required, reconnect the data input cable(s) to the printer.

Using the configuration printout(s) you made in step 1., reconfigure the printer
and reload any optional font files.

Note

If you are loading the file using the LPT2 port on the computer, enter the
following command:

filename.exe -pb2

<Enter>

The 9600 baud rate is the only selection older versions of MS-DOS can
use. The baud rate information entered in the following commands must
match the selection you made in step 13.

If you are loading the file through the printer serial port, enter the following
commands:

mode COM1:9600,N,8,1,P

<Enter>

filename.exe -pbc1

<Enter>

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.
