Sending Firmware in Download Mode

This section describes how to send the firmware data to the printer using the desired host IO.
NOTE:
The three-key download sequence only allows download through USB or via SD card.
Although the program file FILENAME.prg is used in the examples, any file with a Printronix header can be
substituted in this process to download flash files.

Sending Firmware via Ethernet (LPR)

NOTE:
You will need the IP Address of the printer.
1. Enter the following to start the LPR program:
lpr -S xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -P d1prn FILENAME.prg
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP Address of the printer.
WARNING
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 USB

This section explains how to download firmware through the USB port. This can be completed with
firmware in the form FILENAME.prg.
IMPORTANT
For USB connections, the Windows Driver must be installed.
1. Install the Windows Driver from the
installation, make sure to share the printer when prompted and record the "Share name".
