- Print server model: AXIS 5550
- IP address of print server: 10.13.4.105
- File name of new firmware: 5550.bin
- Location of firmware and upgrade procedure: C:\Axis
(Create a new directory named e.g. 'Axis' on your hard drive and download the firmware to that location).
- From www.axis.com/techsup/firmware, download the firmware and save it to a new directory on your computer, e.g. C:\ Axis
- Open a command prompt from Start => Run.
Type cmd in the Run Window and click OK.
- The DOS Command Prompt window will open.
Make sure you are working from the c: directory (type c: and press Enter).
- Type cd Axis
- Type dir and press Enter.
The Axis directory you have created will list all files.
- Connect to the print server using ftp:
Type ftp 10.13.4.105
(Example using print server IP address 10.13.4.105)
- Enter the user and password:
Default user: root
Default password pass (your entry will not be visible) and press
Enter.
- Change to binary transfer mode: type bin and press Enter.
- Type hash and press Enter.
- Use the 'put' command to upload the upgrade file to the flash location:
Type put 5550.bin FLASH. A stream of hash marks will appear.

The print server will restart in five seconds running the new software.
When you see a new ftp prompt the procedure has been successfully completed.
