Upgrading the Print Server’s Internal Firmware

The print server’s internal software is stored in Flash memory, which allows you to upgrade it to an updated version without shipping the print server back to your distributor. Consult your dealer for information about when updated print server firmware versions are available.

You will also need to have copies of the updated firmware.

Firmware updates are contained in to related files, a larger one with a

.bin

extension, and a smaller one having a

.dwl

extension.

Both of these files are necessary for the download to be completed successfully.

To perform the download:

1. Make sure you have backup copies of the previous version of the firmware image files before overwriting them with the new ones.

2. Choose Download Firmware... from the PS Admin Tools menu. The print server will ask for the filename of the updated

.bin

image file.

3. Type in the pathname of the

.bin

file, or click the Browse... button to locate the file using a standard dialog box.

However, in some situations it may be necessary to return your print server for servicing in order to recover from an interrupted download.
