NOTE: This download method requires firmware in the form FILENAME.exe. The firmware can be
downloaded without requiring the user to manually put the printer into download mode.
1. Make sure the printer is powered up, in ONLINE mode, and that the applicable host IO cables are
connected.
2. Navigate to the directory where the target firmware resides.
NOTE: The target firmware must be in the format FILENAME.exe where the FILENAME is a six digit
number with the .exe extension (e.g., 123456.exe).
IMPORTANT
For USB connections, the Windows Driver must be installed.
3. Install the Windows Driver Win8, Win10, Server 2012, Server 2016. Drivers can be found on the
http://www.printronix.com/ products/drivers.aspx website. During the installation, make sure to share
the printer when prompted and record the "Share name".
For USB connections, the printer must have a "Share name" established.
IMPORTANT
4. The "Share name" will be needed when executing the FILENAME.exe command. This should be
accomplished during installation, but can be verified at any time.
