System Software
System Software
The AR-P15 is shipped with system software already installed in flash memory.
You need to reinstall system software on the AR-P15 when you upgrade to a newer
version of system software or replace the optional HDD. A replacement HDD is shipped
without system software installed. (The HDD upgrade kit is shipped with system
software already installed on the HDD.)
You may also try reinstalling system software when you are troubleshooting the system,
especially if checking connections does not solve the problem.
The AR-P15 System Software CD includes several files:
• arp15_diskless.dle—the system software installation file for a standard AR-P15.
• arp15_disk.dle—the system software installation file for an AR-P15 with the HDD
option.
• Printer.exe—the EFI Embedded Printer Download Utility that you will use on a PC
for installing system software on the AR-P15 over the parallel port.
• PortTalk.sys—a driver required when using the EFI Embedded Printer Download
Utility on the following Windows platforms: NT/2000/XP.
• ReadMe.txt—notes on the EFI Embedded Printer Download Utility
• communication.log—an internally generated log of activity associated with the EFI
Embedded Printer Download Utility
System Software installation reminders
Keep in mind the following when installing system software:
•
—Only resident fonts will be restored during system software installation. If the
Fonts
HDD option is installed, any additional fonts that were imported will be deleted. After
installing system software on the HDD, the optional Command WorkStation
application can be used to import additional fonts again.
To determine which fonts were imported, print the Fonts List before you install the
system software and again after you complete the system software installation. Any
fonts not listed after installation will need to be imported again. For more information
on setting up the AR-P15, see the Administrator's Guide.
•
—Screens for installing system software are always displayed in English, even
Language
if the copier is configured for another language.
•
—The latest user software must be installed onto all computers that print
Compatibility
to the AR-P15. Using incompatible versions of the system and user software may result
in system problems.
