Reloading using the FTP Protocol
from a command prompt
By specifying the Print / Fax server PASSWORD AS THE USERNAME when
logging on, it becomes possible to upgrade the firmware of the Print / Fax server
or printer. The following example assumes that the Print / Fax server password is
“cambridge”
D:\>ftp
ftp> open 220.0.250.200
Connected to 220.0.250.200.
220 FTP print service:V-1.05/Use the network password for
the ID if updating.
User (220.0.250.200:(none)): cambridge
230 User cambridge logged in.
ftp> bin
200 Ready command OK.
ftp> hash

226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate mode.

ftp> close
226 Data Transfer OK.
ftp> quit
When you see “226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate mode.” You
can be sure that the firmware file is being transferred to the Print / Fax server. If
you do not see this message, the file you are sending to the MFC will either be
ignored or the printer will print garbage.
You must use the “bin” command to put the FTP client into Binary
communications mode. If you do not specify the bin command the upgrade
process will not function correctly.
NOTE:
AFTER SENDING FIRMWARE TO THE MFC, DO NOT TURN OFF THE
MFC UNTIL AFTER THE MFC HAS PERFORMED AN AUTOMATIC
RESTART.
