Chapter 3 Loading Flash Memory
102
To download emulation software, as well as downloadable files for
logos, forms, TIFF, setup, and fonts to the printer, do the following:
1. If you plan to download any logo, form, TIFF, setup, or font files
into the printer, you must first use the supplied
lasr2fls DOS
utility program to convert these files into downloadable format.
See page 99. (Emulation files require no conversion.)
2. Take the printer offline by pressing the ONLINE key.
Press the UP + DOWN keys simultaneously to unlock the
ENTER key.
3. Make a printout of all saved configurations. (Installing new
software erases all saved configurations. You will use the
printouts later to restore the printer configuration.)
NOTE: Loading flash memory does not affect the page count or
other data stored in NVRAM.
4. Set the printer power switch to O (Off).
5. If the printer is already connected to the parallel port of an
IBM-compatible computer that is using the PC-DOS™ or MS-

is already in use. If you use the LPT2 port, the download
command is different, as described in the note after
step 33.
