4.2 TCP/IP (TFTP protocol)
A software update via TCP/IP can be done by following the steps below:
•
Register for the print server download (FTP connection)
•
Set the download parameters (TFTP connection)
•
Transfer the software update to the print server (TFTP connection)
In order to make software updates of the print server as comfortable as possible, you can download
all the data via network directly to the print server. If the print server is installed in a network with
TCP/IP protocol, the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) will be used for the download.
Please note before downloading:
•
The print server must be switched on and be visible in the network
•
Print jobs should be finished and the printer should be deactivated before the update
procedure, due to the fact that a download will terminate any print job.
•
The download procedure will last about 20 seconds.
•
All parameters saved in the print server are retained after the download.
•
After the software update the print servers should be restarted.
Please follow these steps for a successful software update:
Jump to the directory where the binary file for the software update is located. Start the File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) and connect to the print server:
% ftp 192.0.0.123
You will be asked for a user name. The entry is arbitrary. Entering the following command switches
the print server to download mode:
ftp> quote SITE LOAD ON
The print server rejects all incoming print jobs and waits for the software update binary file to be
transmitted via TFTP.
If you wish to reactivate the printer without downloading the software update, switch the print
server to printing mode by entering:
ftp> quote SITE LOAD OFF
Start the Trivial File Transfer Protocol and connect to the print server:
% tftp 192.0.0.123
