3.1.10. TFTP Client
When the printer power is turned on while you hold down the push switch, the TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) client stored in
the boot loader is started up.
The TFTP client automatically downloads the main program from the TFTP server over the LAN, and writes to the Flash ROM on
the NIC board. When writing ends normally, the printer will automatically be reset and will startup normally.
