Reloading the Firmware C-5

where unixhost-ip address is the IP address of the UNIX
load host and pathname is the full path name for the

XJET.BIN

file (e.g.,

/tftpboot/XJET.BIN

). Note

that some tftp implementations require that the load file be
located in the

/tftpboot

directory. Be sure to put the

path name in quotes and remember that UNIX names are
case-sensitive. Also, make sure that your file protection
allows general access to the boot directory.

When you type a CTRL-D to exit the remote console, the
file

XJET.BIN

will then be loaded into the print server.

The red TEST LED will blink about during the load
process and will go out when the process is complete.

If the red LED does not go out after about two minutes,
check to make sure that you correctly entered all
parameters and that your network connections are good.
Then power the print server off and then on again, enter
the

SET LOAD ENABLE

command, and exit the remote

console to retry the download.

Downloading from a UNIX Host
Computer using BOOTP

To download the print server firmware from a UNIX host
using BOOTP, first copy the file

XJET.BIN

to that host.

Make sure that BOOTP and tftp are started by checking
the appropriate files on your system (generally speaking,
BOOTP must be enabled in the

/etc/inetd.conf

file, while tftp must be enabled in your

/etc/services

file and possibly in another configuration file, such as the

/etc/inetd.conf

file). Refer to your UNIX system

documentation or man pages for additional information.
