Updating System Software
The system software in your printer is stored in flash memory. This
allows you to update the system software without opening up the
printer and installing new PROMs. Updated system software allows
you to take advantage of future enhancements to the printer.
Use this procedure for both Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0
systems.
