Updating System Software
Colorwriter LSR 2000
+
system software is initially installed from the System Software CD
attached to the Colorwriter, however system software or software updates can also be
installed over the network from a remote hard disk.
The procedure for remote software installation follows. This procedure is an alternative to
turning off power, turning it on, entering service mode, formatting the printer hard disk,
and copying software from a CD-ROM drive attached directly to the printer.

This method cannot be used for updating system software versions prior to
version 2.0.
The procedure described here works with Windows NT workstations using the TCP/IP

Note:Be sure that the software you install is an official release of software; the
procedure ends by overwriting the current system software on the printer.
To update Colorwriter system software from a network drive:
1. Copy the system software file from the System Software CD (or other source) to a hard disk.
2. Connect the hard disk to a workstation on the same network as the Colorwriter printer.
3. Print a Configuration page so you have a record of your current settings.
You may need this record since you will be required to run Setup after updating the
software.
4. Be sure that TCP/IP and the direct connection are enabled, and find out the IP address of
the printer.
5. Check the printer’s status. When the printer LCD says READY, return to your workstation.
6. On the Windows NT workstation, start the Command Prompt, and type:
lpr -S <IP Address of printer> -P xjdirect <filename>
For the filename, enter the path to the system software file. If the filename exceeds 8
characters with a 3-letter extension, type the entire filename (including the path) in
quotation marks.
The processing light on the printer flashes during the file transfer. When the command
prompt returns, copying is complete.
7. When the command prompt returns, return to the printer and cycle power (turn the printer
off and then on).
8. Don’t press any buttons until the LCD message UPDATE SOFTWARE appears. If necessary,
press the up or down arrow button to display YES. Press Enter.
The message
UPDATING DO NOT POWER OFF
appears. The system software on the printer is
