Updating System Software - QMS 2060 WX Print User Manual

Updating System Software

The system software in your printer is stored in flash memory. This
allows you to update the system software without opening up the
printer and installing new PROMs. Updated system software allows
you to take advantage of future enhancements to the printer.
Use this procedure for both Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0
systems.
1 If necessary, connect the printer to the PC's parallel port.
2 Turn on the PC and the printer.
3 Insert the QMS 2060 WX system software disk in the PC's
3.5" disk drive.
4 From the Windows 95 or Windows NT Start menu choose
Run...
5 With the printer on line and Idle, in the Run dialog box type
the appropriate command:
n
Windows 95
n
Windows NT 4.0
Replace x with the letter of the disk drive in which you inserted
the system software disk, and replace y with the number of the
parallel port on your PC to which you connected the printer cable
(for example, a:\updt_lp1 ↵ or a:\firmware\updt_lp1 ↵ ).
The downloading process takes about a minute. During the down-
loading process, the Disk light blinks, and the messages New
kernel..., Erasing flash, and Writing flash appear in
the printer's message window.
After the updated system software has been written to flash
ROM, the printer reboots (Booting...) with the new system
image, and returns to Idle.
» Note: As the printer reboots, watch the message window for a
message verifying the amount of memory currently installed in
the printer and identifying the current version number of the
system software (for example, 8 Meg ver 2.01).
