Choosing the Appropriate System Software
Files for Downloading
System software is contained on 8 disks—4 PC and 4 Macintosh. The
disks you use depend on whether your printer is functioning or not,
the current firmware version, and how you plan to download the sys-
tem software to the printer.
Installing the System Software
Once you have identified the appropriate print system software disk
set (using the table in the previous section), you must install the soft-
ware on your computer’s hard disk before you can download it to the
printer.
1 Ensure that your computer has enough free hard disk space
for the system software.
2 Create a new folder (Macintosh) or directory (PC) on your
computer.
3 Insert Disk 1 of the appropriate print system software disk
set in your computer’s disk drive.
4 Install the files on your computer’s hard disk.
* To download the system software from a UNIX system, you must first install the system
software on a Macintosh or PC and then upload it to the UNIX system.
** The printer’s firmware level is listed on both the start-up and status pages.
