GEN2 Netplex Firmware Upload Port
The Firmware Upload Port upgrades the printer firmware while the printer is still installed
and powered in the game. The printer uploads through its Firmware Upload Port just as it
would through its communications connector at the rear of the printer.
To use this port, slide the printer out until the upload port (shown in the following figure) is
visible. Then plug an appropriate upgrade cable into the printer. This connection may be
made while the power is on.
