on the size of the file and the speed of your Macintosh. The
Transparency indicator blinks as the new system image is
written to flash ROM. After the updated system software has
been written to flash ROM, the message

plete! appears on the Macintosh screen, the printer
reboots with the new system image, prints a start-up page,

the printer verifies that the new image is valid.

figuration settings match the previous configuration settings
(on the advanced status page printed in step 2).

figuration menu.
