12. Upon verification, go to Sending Firmware via USB on page 227.
Sending Firmware via Parallel
This download method can be completed with firmware in the form
FILENAME.exe or FILENAME.prg.
NOTE: The parallel option must be installed.
1. Copy the firmware to the printer by issuing these commands at the Command prompt:
copy /b FILENAME.prg lpt1: <Enter>
where FILENAME.prg is the target firmware
or
FILENAME –pb <Enter>
where FILENAME.exe is the target firmware
IMPORTANT
DO NOT interrupt the downloading process once it has started. Interrupting a
download will leave the flash memory on the controller PCBA and NIC
incompletely loaded, and the printer may not boot up.
2. The process is complete when the new software has successfully loaded into flash memory and the
printer has reset itself.
Sending Firmware via Serial
Downloading firmware using serial RS-232 is not recommended due to the size of the firmware and
significant wait time required to complete the process. Downloading through serial requires firmware in
the form FILENAME.prg only.
1. Copy the firmware to the printer by issuing these commands at the Command prompt:
mode COM1:9600,N,8,1,P <Enter>
copy /b FILENAME.prg com1 <Enter>
where FILENAME.prg is the target firmware.
