Chapter 4 Loading Flash Memory from Multiple Diskettes
7. Connect the data cable to the appropriate I/O port of the printer.
8. Plug the AC power cord into the printer.
9. Power on the computer.
10. Create a directory on your computer hard drive where you will store the
recombined files from the emulation diskettes by typing the following at
the DOS prompt:
MD DOWNLOAD<return>
11. Make the newly created directory the “active” directory by typing the
following at the DOS prompt:
CD DOWNLOAD<return>
12. Insert the last
diskette in the series (e.g., 2 of 2, 3 of 3, etc.) into diskette
drive A (or B) of the computer.
13. Get the name of the compressed file on the diskette by typing the
following at the DOS prompt:
DIR A:<return> (If the diskette is in drive B, type DIR B:<return>)
The compressed file on the diskette takes the form
FILENAME.ZIP
,
where the filename is a six digit number (e.g., 123456.zip).
14. At the DOS prompt type:
A:\PKUNZIP A:\
FILENAME
(Replace A: with B: if you are using the B
dirve), where
FILENAME
is the six digit number you noted in the previous
step.
15. The PKUNZIP program will execute, and the following message will
appear on the computer screen:
Insert disk #1 - Press a key when ready
16. Remove the diskette in the disk drive and insert the diskette labeled
Disk 1 of 2 (or 1 of 3, etc.)
17. Press the <return> key. After the file is decompressed to the hard drive,
the following message will appear on the computer screen:
Insert disk #2 - Press a key when ready
18. Remove the diskette in the disk drive and insert the diskette labeled
Disk 2 of 2 (or 2 of 3, etc.)
19. Press the <return> key. If there are only two diskettes for the emulation,
you will be returned to the DOS prompt when the decompression is
complete. If there are three diskettes, you will be asked to insert disk #3
and press a key.
20. When all diskettes have been decompressed, type the following at the
DOS prompt:
DIR<return>
You will see a directory listing containing the file
FILENAME.EXE
, where
the filename is the six digit number (e.g., 123456.exe) you noted above.
This is the file you will download into the printer.
