Engineering Details Macintosh operating systems 1. Make a note of the TCP/IP address on the EIO-Jetdirect page. The EIO-Jetdirect page is the second page of the configuration page printout. To print a configuration page, see Determining the current level of firmware. 2. Open a Terminal window on your Macintosh. You can find the Terminal program on the computer hard drive in the Applications/Utilities folder. 3. Type FTP For example, if the TCP/IP address is 192.168.0.90, type FTP 192.168.0.90 4. Press Enter on the keyboard. 5. When prompted for a user name and password, press Enter. 6. Type put , where is the location where the .RFU file was downloaded from the Web, including the path. For example, type put /username/desktop/4730MFPfw.rfu, and then press Enter. NOTE If the file name or path includes a space, you must enclose the file name or path in quotation marks. For example, type put "/user name/desktop/4730MFPFW.RFU". To ensure that the entire path to the .RFU file is placed in the put command, type put and a space, and then drag and drop the .RFU file onto the terminal window. The complete path to the file is automatically placed after the put command . 7. The download process begins and the firmware is updated on the product. This can take several minutes. Let the process finish without further interaction with the product or the computer. The messages described in the section Printer messages during the firmware update appear on the control panel. NOTE The product automatically turns off and then on again to activate the update; this can happen more than once. At the end of the update process, the READY message appears on the control panel. Do not turn off the product or interfere with the update until you see this message. 8. Print a configuration page and verify that the firmware revision number matches the revision of the current update. Remote firmware update through a local Windows port If the product is connected through a local port (parallel), then you can send the .RFU file directly to the product by using a COPY command from a command prompt or an MS-DOS window. At the command prompt, perform the following steps for your operating system. ENWW Remote firmware update 309

1.
Make a note of the TCP/IP address on the EIO-Jetdirect page. The EIO-Jetdirect page is the second
page of the configuration page printout. To print a configuration page, see
Determining the current
level of firmware
.
2.
Open a Terminal window on your Macintosh. You can find the Terminal program on the computer
hard drive in the Applications/Utilities folder.
3.
Type

4.
Press
Enter
on the keyboard.
5.
When prompted for a user name and password, press
Enter
.
6.
Type
put <path>
, where <path> is the location where the .RFU file was downloaded from the
Web, including the path. For example, type
put /username/desktop/4730MFPfw.rfu
, and
then press
Enter
.
NOTE
If the file name or path includes a space, you must enclose the file name or path in
quotation marks. For example, type
put "/user name/desktop/4730MFPFW.RFU".
To ensure that the entire path to the .RFU file is placed in the
put
command, type
put
and
a space, and then drag and drop the .RFU file onto the terminal window. The complete path
to the file is automatically placed after the
put
command .
7.
The download process begins and the firmware is updated on the product. This can take several
minutes. Let the process finish without further interaction with the product or the computer. The
messages described in the section
Printer messages during the firmware update
appear on the
control panel.
NOTE
The product automatically turns off and then on again to activate the update; this
can happen more than once. At the end of the update process, the
READY
message
appears on the control panel. Do
not
turn off the product or interfere with the update until
you see this message.
8.
Print a configuration page and verify that the firmware revision number matches the revision of the
current update.
Remote firmware update through a local Windows port
If the product is connected through a local port (parallel), then you can send the .RFU file directly to the
product by using a
COPY
command from a command prompt or an MS-DOS window. At the command
prompt, perform the following steps for your operating system.
