appears on the display.
26. At the DOS prompt on the computer type:
FILENAME.EXE -pb<return>
where FILENAME.EXE is the compressed file you noted in step 20. This
command decompresses the file on the hard drive and copies it as a
binary file into the flash memory on the printer controller board.
NOTE: If you are loading the file using the LPT2 port on the computer, enter
the following DOS command:
FILENAME.EXE -pb 2 <Return>
The 9600 baud rate is the only selection older versions of DOS can
use. The baud rate information entered in the following DOS
commands must match the selection you made in step 25.
If you are loading the file through the printer serial port, enter the
following DOS commands:
MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P<Return>
FILENAME.EXE -pbc1<Return>
27. While the file is copied into memory, the printer LCD informs you of the
load process and status. (See Table 6: below.)
28. When the new program has successfully loaded into memory and the
printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (off).
29. Unplug the AC power cord from the printer.
30. Remove the diskette from the computer and store it with the printer.
