MAINTENANCE
Fan #1 and Fan #2 Tests - Tests the operation of the fans on the
printer. Fan #1 Test (while depressed) turns on the power supply
cooling fan and the suction fan inside the platen on the right side
of the printer. Fan #2 Test (while depressed) turns on the suction
fan inside the platen near the center of the printer. The 42 inch
printer does not have this second suction fan, therefore, the Fan
#2 Test is disabled.
Legs Test - Tests the condition of the leg harness connections and
the components of the power feed and take-up system and dryer
assembly.
Firmware Download/Upgrading for the PC
You can download new firmware from Encad’s website,
www.encad.com. The normal method of downloading new firmware
sends the file to the printer as a standard print job. Downloading new
firmware is a simple procedure. You will need the firmware,
nnnnxxx.rom, and the Encad File Print Utility (EFPU) to download the
code. (‘nnnn’ identifies the product and ‘xxx’ is the version number of
the firmware.) The EFPU can be found on the CD that shipped with
your printer or you can download the utility from Encad’s website.
Note: Firmware cannot be downloaded through a RIP, unless the RIP
has a ‘pass-through’ feature.
To download new firmware to your printer.
1. If you already have a network connection to your printer, you can
use that to download the firmware or connect an IEEE1284
compliant parallel printer cable between the printer and computer.
2. Open the EFPU and press the Add button in the Folders section
of the dialog box. Give the new folder a name and press OK.
3. Press the Add button in the Files section of the dialog box. Find
the firmware file that you downloaded from Encad’s website and
press the Open button. This will add the firmware file to the folder
you created.
