Automatic Download (.exe)

The firmware can be downloaded without requiring the user to manually put the printer into download
mode.
NOTE:
This download method requires firmware in the form FILENAME.exe, which should be a six
digit number with the .exe extension (e.g., 123456.exe).
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.
IMPORTANT
For USB connections, the Windows Driver must be installed.
3. Install the Windows Driver from 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. Select the driver, right-click the
mouse button and select "Printer Properties". Click the "Sharing" tab, make sure the "Share this
printer" box is check marked, and enter the "Share name".
