Please Note:
The BOOT flash data performs the communication with the copier at power tip and adds
the Simulation “67” codes. Once the download of the BOOT data begins the power must
not be removed from the copier until the download is complete. If this download is
interrupted, no further downloading will be possible.
The syntax above depends upon which flash memory you are downloading to the AR-PB2.
The XXX represents the version number of the flash memory upgrade. The XXX should be
replaced with the version number that you are trying to download i.e 111 or 221 etc. If you
are not currently in the same directory as the flash file, the correct path should also be
included i.e. C: \Flash ~PB2_XXX. hex.
The speed of the download will depend upon the speed of the computer being used. If a
download
is performed within a Windows 95 DOS window, the download time will be quicker than if
you shut down the computer in to MS-Dos Mode. On a typical Pentium 120 running in
Windows 95 DOS window, the download will take around 7 minutes.
When a download is performed from a Windows 95 DOS window, the file is first spooled
and then placed in the local print queue. This means that the PC sending the flash
memory could then be used for other tasks. Windows 95 will however have to be left
running until the download has completed.
