8. Wait until you see "B20: STATUS 00% / DOWNLOAD MODE" or
"PROGRAM DOWNLOAD" on the LCD before doing the next step.This
can take a few seconds to appear, depending on the emulations and
interfaces installed in the printer.
9. Using Windows Explorer, create a directory named download at the root
level of your C: hard drive. (C:\download)
10. Insert the printer emulation software CD-ROM into your computer's CD-
ROM drive.
11. Open the readme.txt file on the CD-ROM. There are five emulation sets
with corresponding part number files from which to choose:
CT / IPDS / IGP
ANSI / IGP
TN / IGP
PCL2 / IGP
LG / IGP
All emulations include the LP+ emulation. They are offered in two file
formats: .exe and .prg. Use .exe files to download through the parallel
port.
12. Identify which emulation set you want to load into the printer and note the
filename that corresponds to that emulation. The filename is a six digit
number plus .exe. For example: 123456.exe
This is the file you will download into the printer.
13. Copy the file to the download directory you created in step 8.
14. Start a command prompt session. (The Start Menu icon is usually labeled
MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt.)
15. At the command prompt type:
C:<Enter>
cd \download<Enter>
16. At the command prompt on the computer:
filename.exe -pb<Enter>
where filename .exe is the file name you noted in step 11. This command
decompresses the file on the hard drive and copies it as a binary file into
the flash memory on the printer controller board.
17. When the software has successfully loaded into flash memory and the
printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (off).
18. Starting at step 6 of "Loading Through Parallel Port Using DOS" on page
249, load the software again through the parallel port. (In other words,
use the two-key method to load software again. This ensures that all
necessary code is loaded into printer memory.
