Installing PrintNET - Flash Upload
NOTE: All systems are preloaded with a version of PrintNET. This update includes the “Flash” based up loader to
enhance the user experience. You will use the current version of PrintNET to load the update to the system.
Installing the PrintNET - Flash Upload is as simple as “pushing” the update package to the printer (IPS). Your
system should be installed, powered on and connected to your LAN with an IPS address pre-assigned.
1. Download the PrintNET Flash Upload from the App Store.
2. Extract the upload from the .zip file to your local drive ( the ZIP file includes the User Guide and the
update )
3. Locate the IP address of the system by selecting the “?” button on the main screen of the system touch
panel.

system or reference the system’s user guide)
