Updating System Software

The system software in your printer is stored on 4 MB of flash mem-
ory. This allows you to update the system software without opening
up the printer and installing new PROMs. Updated system software
allows you to take advantage of future enhancements to the printer.

Updating the system software is a three-step procedure:

1

Choose the appropriate compressed system software files.

2

Install the system software on your computer.

3

Download the system software to the printer.

The following sections explain these steps in detail.

Files for Downloading

intosh disks. The disks you use depend on whether your printer is
functioning (the printer starts up normally, and

displays in the

message window) or not, the current firmware version, and how you
plan to download the system software to the printer.
