QMS Magicolor WX User Manual page 122

Note: The following procedure applies to both Windows 95 and
»
Windows NT 4.0.
The system software in your printer is stored in flash memory. 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.
1 If necessary, connect the printer to the PC's parallel port.
2 Turn on the PC and the printer.
3 Insert the QMS magicolor WX system software disk in the
PC's 3.5" disk drive.
4 From the Start menu choose Run...
5 In the Run dialog box type the following command as appro-
priate:
n
For Windows 95, type x :\updt_lp y. bat
n
For Windows NT 4.0, type x :\firmware\updt_lp y .bat
where x is the disk drive in which you inserted the system soft-
ware disk and y is the number of the parallel port on your PC to
which you connected the printer cable in step 1 (for example,
a:\updt_lp1.bat or a:\firmware\updt_lpt1.bat ).
The downloading process takes about a minute. During the down-
loading the messages PLEASE WAIT WRITING FLASH and
PLEASE WAIT ERASING FLASH appear in the printer's mes-
sage window.
Note: The new flash image does not erase the old image until the
»
printer verifies that the new image is valid.
After the updated system software has been written to flash
ROM, the printer reboots with the new system image, and returns
to IDLE.
