SYSTEM

SOFTWARE

The system software in your Crown printer is stored in flash ROM, read-only memory that

can be erased and rewritten to “in a flash.” Updated system software allows you to take

advantage of future enhancements to the printer.

The use of flash memory for system software storage offers the opportunity for easy field

update of system code. A resident loader is provided to enable you to install all code updates.

Installation of a code update overwrites the previous contents of the flash memory.

7.10.1.1 DOWNLOADING THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE—ETHERNET (TCP/IP)

First, you need to make sure that the printer is on and accessible through

your network.

1. If you have a PC:

a. Go to Start/Programs/MS-DOS Prompt (Start/Programs/Command Prompt for NT).

ping

ipaddress

Incorrect IP addresses can cause errors similar to ones shown in the following:

2. If you have a UNIX workstation:

a. Open a window on your UNIX workstation.

b. In the window, type

ping ipaddress↵(for example, ping 161.33.131.62↵)

After you’ve determined that your printer connection is working correctly, you need to ftp

and “put” the system code to the printer.

We assume that you have a system file, for example “system.ps” on your workstation’s hard

disk, and that you are in the directory where this file resides. We also assume the printer is in

an “idle” state.

3. On a Windows machine, get to a DOS prompt. On a UNIX machine, open a new window

and type:

ftp

ipaddress

↵(for example, ftp 161.33.128.5↵)

4. When prompted for a user name and password, press Enter for both.

An ftp> prompt displays.

If a message displays denoting invalid password, contact your system

administrator. Otherwise, continue.

AT THE FTP> PROMPT, CHANGE TO BINARY MODE BY TYPING

bin↵



If a page prints out, then you are communicating correctly. If not, contact Support

(see the Service & Support Guide for a listing of customer support services

available).

5. At the ftp> prompt, end the ftp session by typing

quit↵

6. Wait 10 minutes, and then reboot the printer.

Your startup page reflects the new version of code.
