Loading Flash Memory
Printer emulation and operating system software are loaded into
flash memory at the factory, but you will install software or files in
the following situations:
•
You buy the PGL or VGL graphics, Expansion-CT, or IPDS
option after the printer is installed
•
You need to upgrade printer software
•
You need different emulation software
•
You have replaced the controller board
•
You have added or replaced the flash memory card
•
You need to load logos, forms, TIFF files, setup files, and/or
font files to the printer
Emulation software and fonts are supplied on one or more 3.5 inch,
diskettes. Each emulation file is "executable," which means you can
expand it and copy it into the printer's flash memory with a single
command. The other kinds of files are not executable; however,
before they can be downloaded, you might need to convert them
into downloadable format. You can then copy them to the printer's
flash memory as binary data files, as instructed later in this section.
NOTE: The procedures that follow assume that you have some
100
familiarity with DOS file commands.
