For UNIX systems, any command method that delivers the .TAR file to the product is acceptable,
including the following:
1. At the command prompt, type cp /home/yourmachine/FILENAME /dev/parallel>, where
</home/yourmachine/FILENAME> is the location of the .TAR file.

you see this message.
3. Print a configuration page and verify that the firmware revision number matches the revision of the
current update.
