Sending Firmware Via Ethernet (Lpr); Sending Firmware Via Usb - Printronix Auto ID T800 Series Administrator's Manual

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)

You will need the IP Address of the printer.
NOTE:
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 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".
For USB connections, the printer must have a "Share name" established.
IMPORTANT
2. The "Share name" will be needed when sending the data through the USB port. 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".
