System Requirements
nn If your printer has a hard disk, there are no special system
requirements.
nn If your printer doesn’t have a hard disk, it must have a recent
firmware release (March 1995 or later). If you’re unsure about the
release date of the firmware, contact QMS. (See appendix A,
“QMS Customer Support,” for customer contact information.)
uu Caution: Make sure the printer does not receive any print jobs
during the upgrade downloading process. It may be necessary to
disconnect the printer from the network. If you are using Token
Ring make sure that you configure Ring Speed before reconnect-
ing to the network.
» Note: A Postscript file contains the upgrade for the CrownNet
interface card. It may be used only on the printer/interface card for
which it was purchased. It may not be duplicated or copied.
Before You Begin Downloading the Software
1 Turn on the printer, wait for IDLE to appear in the message
window, and then print a CrownNet configuration page (the
Administration/Communications/
xxxxxxxx NIC/CrownNet/
Common/Config Page menu, where
xxxxxxxx is either Resi-
dent or Optional).
» Note:
Since the downloading procedure replaces the CrownNet
software in your printer with the new CrownNet software, all
CrownNet configuration settings are replaced with the new
factory default settings. The CrownNet configuration page
provides a record of all current CrownNet configuration settings,
so you can verify them (and reconfigure them, if necessary) after
the CrownNet software has been updated.
uu Caution: Do not reconnect the printer to a Token Ring network
until you check the ring speed setting or reconfigure the ring
speed to the speed of your network.
