Upgrading Print Server Firmware
The print server’s internal software is stored in Flash memory,
which allows you to upgrade it to an updated version without
shipping the print server back to your distributor. Consult your
dealer for information about when updated print server firmware
versions are available.
To upgrade your print server’s firmware, you will need to have a
TFTP server on your network. A TFTP (Trivial File Transfer
Protocol) server is provided with most versions of the U
NIX
operating system, as well as with many other operating systems
that support TCP/IP networking. Consult your system
documentation for detailed information about establishing a TFTP
server.
You will also need to have copies of the updated firmware.
Firmware updates are contained in to related files, a larger one
with a
.BIN
extension, and a smaller one having a
.DWL
extension.
Both
of these files are necessary for the download to be
completed successfully. The files should be stored on your TFTP
server with uppercase filenames.
To perform the download:
1.
Make sure you have backup copies of the previous version of
the firmware image files before overwriting them with the
new ones.
2.
Place the two firmware image files in the root of your TFTP
server directory. (On some versions of the U
NIX
operating
system, the TFTP server directory is found in
/tftpboot
.)
