Limitation on Updating Firmware
The following limitation must be considered when updating firmware on the
SureMark printer:
v SureMark firmware update cannot be performed if the printer currently has Model
4 emulation enabled. If emulation is enabled, temporarily disable Model 4
emulation, then start the SureMark firmware update. After the firmware update is
complete, re-enable Model 4 emulation. See “Emulating the IBM Model 3 or
Model 4 Printers” for additional information.
