Updating System Software 83
Updating System Software
The system software in your magicolor 2200 DeskLaser is stored in flash ROM, read-only
memory that can be erased and rewritten to “in a flash.” This allows you to update the
system software through the printer interface without opening up the printer and installing
new PROMs. The system software is updated by sending a specified file to the printer.
Downloading Methods
You can use Ethernet TCP/IP or a parallel connection to download the system file to the
printer.
System File
To perform an update you need to download a system file to your printer. The system file
filename identifies the system version number and ends with an
.img filename extension.
The printer must remain inactive during the download process.
