To download the print server firmware from a UNIX host using slave mode tftp, first
copy the file XJET.BIN to that host. Make sure that tftp is started by checking the
appropriate files on your system (generally speaking, tftp must be enabled in your
/etc/services
file and possibly in another configuration file, such as
/etc/inetd.conf ). Refer to your UNIX system documentation or man pages for
additional information.
Now log into the print server remote console using, and execute the following
commands:
S E T L O A D I P u n i x h o s t - i p a d d r e s s
S E T L O A D S O F T W A R E " p a t h n a m e "
S E T L O A D E N A B L E
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
S E T L O A D E N A B L E
command, and exit the remote console to retry the download.

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.
