Reloading Using the FTP Protocol from a 
Command Prompt

By specifying the print server PASSWORD AS THE USERNAME 
when logging on, it becomes possible to upgrade the firmware of the 
print server or printer (if supported). The following example assumes 
that the print server password is "

cambridge

"

D:\>ftp
ftp> open 220.0.250.200
Connected to 220.0.250.200.
220 FTP print service:V-1.05/Use the network 
password for the ID if updating.

When you see "226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate 
mode", you can be sure that the firmware file is being transferred to 
the print server. If you do not see this message, the file you are 
sending to the printer will either be ignored or the printer will print 
garbage.

You must use the "bin" command to put the FTP client into 
Binary communications mode. If you do not specify the bin 
command the upgrade process will not function correctly.
