For UNIX systems, any command method that delivers the .TAR file to the device is acceptable,
including the following:
1.
At the command prompt, type
cp /home/yourmachine/FILENAME /dev/parallel>
, where
</home/yourmachine/FILENAME> is the location of the .TAR file.
2.
The download process begins and the firmware is updated on the device. This can take several
minutes. Let the process finish without further interaction with the device or the computer. The
messages described in the section
Printer messages during the firmware update
appear on the
control panel.
NOTE
The device 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 device or interfere with the update until this
message appears.
3.
Print a configuration page and verify that the firmware revision number matches the revision of the
current update.
NOTE
Print a menu map to see what user settings are configured in the current firmware. This
menu map can be compared with a menu map printed before the firmware update to determine
what user settings have been added or changed in the new firmware.
To print a menu map from the device control panel, see
