For example, type the following: C:\>copy /b c:\xxxxfw.rfu LPT1 NOTE If the file name or path includes a space, enclose the file name or path in quotation marks. For example, type C:\>copy /b "c:\My Documents\xxxxfw.rfu" LPT1. 2. Press Enter on the keyboard. 3. The download process begins and the firmware is updated on the device.
