Printer Controller Software Upgrades:

The Printer Controller is FLASH ROM equipped. This means as software

fixes and upgrades are available, you are able to update printer software

without generating a service call.

The following options are available for software updates:

Option 1

The printer controller software is provided on the product CD-ROM. The

path to the software on your CD-ROM is

\INSTAL\UTILITIES\FIRMWARE\(version #).xfc

Option 2

The printer controller software can also be downloaded from the following

Web sites:

http://xerox.network printers.com/products/N24

http://xerox.networkprinters.com/products/N32

http://xerox.networkprinters.com/products/N40

Option 3

You may also contact your local customer support for help if necessary.

Version 1.8 2/4/99 4

Before you upgrade:

Be sure the printer is in communication with the workstation or PC via

parallel port or over the network.

If the Token Ring option is installed on your printer, be sure to disconnect

the cable to the Token Ring card prior to downloading the controller

software via the parallel port.

PRINT A CONFIGURATION SHEET

The Configuration sheet provides a record of the critical parameters set for

your printer as well as the software versions.

Follow these steps to print a Configuration sheet:

1. Press the “1” button until <Print Menu> is displayed.

2. Press the “2” button until <Config Sheet> is displayed.

3. Press the “4” button.

4. At this point the Configuration sheet will print.

Printer Controller Upgrade Process

During the upgrade process the printer’s Control Panel will display

“Downloading… Please Wait”. After the complete file has been received,

the Control Panel will display “Download Passed….Please Reboot.”

NOTE: It is important to not interrupt any part of the process. DO NOT

TURN OFF THE PRINTER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN UPGRADE.

If you experience any problems, call your Xerox Customer Support Center.

Version 1.8 2/4/99 6

Determining a Successful Upgrade:

If your upgrade is successful, the Control Panel display will show

“Download Passed… Please Reboot” for a few seconds and then will

automatically reboot unless you upgraded the printer via the parallel port

while pressing the button 1 and button 5 simultaneously, in which case the

message will remain and the printer needs to be powered “OFF” and then

“ON” to reboot. To confirm the software version, print a Configuration

sheet.

If the Token Ring option is installed on your printer, please be sure to

reconnect the cable to the option card prior to rebooting the printer via the

power “OFF” and “ON” procedure.

PROCEDURE B

LPR UPGRADE PROCEDURE

Warning: Once the upgrade process has begun DO NOT Power off your

Printer!

1. Print a Configuration sheet. Keep this page for future reference. For

directions on doing this, reference the section labeled Before you

Upgrade.

2. Send the upgrade file to the printer. Use the format based on your

client operating system:

WINDOWS NT (3.51 & 4.)

lpr -S <ipaddress> -PRAW <filename> [RETURN]

OS/2 lpr -p ps -s <ipaddress> <filename>[RETURN]

UNIX (use lp or lpr as appropriate)

lpr <switches><queue><filename> [RETURN]

lp <switches><queue><filename> [RETURN]

Where: <ipaddress> = the TCP/IP address the printer has been

assigned

<filename> = the path and name of the upgrade file

<queue> = the native queue to which the printer is assigned

<switches> = use switches as appropriate to your UNIX

environment. Remember switches are case sensitive.

3. To confirm upgrade is successful, refer to the section labeled

Determining a Successful Upgrade.

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS:

•Try to ping the printer to make sure it has a valid ip address

•In addition, consult the section labeled General Troubleshooting

Warning: If the download was not successful, upgrade via the parallel port!

Version 1.8 2/4/99 9

PROCEDURE C

THE PARALLEL PORT

Warning: Once the upgrade process has begun, DO NOT power off your

printer!

1. Print a Configuration sheet. Keep this page for future reference. For

directions on doing this, reference the section labeled Before you

Upgrade.

2. If your Xerox DocuPrint N24/N32/N40 printer’s User Interface

displays “Ready” go to step 3. If a previous download attempt was not

successful and your printer is not “Ready”, power the printer “Off”

then "ON" while pressing button 1 and button 5 simultaneously.

Continue pressing these two keys until the User Interface displays:

"Entering... Download Mode"

3. To send the upgrade file to the printer:

An OS/2 user should open a command prompt.

A Windows (95/NT/3.1x) user should run from DOS or run a DOS

session. For speed, it is recommended to exit Windows 3.1x and run

from DOS.

The format for the mode command is as follows:

mode <port>:,,p [RETURN] (two commas following the colon)Note:

This format is not valid under Windows NT.

The format for the copy command is as follows:

copy </b> <filename> <port>[RETURN]

Where:

</b> = binary file

<port> = the parallel port to which the printer is connected (LPT1:,

LPT2:, etc.)

<filename> = the path and name of the upgrade file

Ex: copy /b <filename> LPT1:

4. Wait until User Interface displays "Download Passed… Please

Reboot"

Version 1.8 2/4/99 10

5. Power "OFF" then "ON" the Xerox DocuPrint N24/N32/N40 laser

printer. The User Interface should display "Ready".

6. To confirm upgrade is successful, refer to the section labeled

Determining a Successful Upgrade.

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS:

•Make sure you are using an IEEE 1284 compliant cable.

•Make sure the printer’s parallel port time-out is set to Infinite Retry

(e.g. mode lpt1:,,p)

•If running a DOS window from Windows 95, make sure that one of

your printers through Settings/Printers is mapped directly to LPT1 (not

re-directed to a network queue). Also check the port settings by

selecting the Port Settings button on the Details tab dialog. Make sure

the selection Spool MS-DOS Print Jobs is selected. If still having

problems after making these settings, try powering your PC off and on.

•Windows 3.1x or 95 users: if experiencing time-outs on the host PC

("Problem detected on parallel port, Abort, Retry, Fail") then you need

to set the port to an infinite time-out against busy on the printer. From

the command line, or as an entry in autoexec.bat, type the following

command:

mode <port>:,,p (two commas following the colon)

The "p" option sets the port for infinite time-out. After setting the port

to an infinite time-out, try using the copy command again. If the

command prompt does not appear within 20 minutes, a ctrl-break can

be used to abort the copy command without rebooting your computer.

•Windows 3.11 users should turn off Print Manager.

•If the Token Ring option is installed on your printer, be sure to

disconnect the cable to the Token Ring card prior to downloading the

controller software via the parallel port and be sure to reconnect the

cable to the option card prior to rebooting the printer via the power

“OFF” and “ON” procedure.
