5.8 Boot Loader Updates
The printer stores its Boot Loader program in Flash memory on the main logic card. As
available, updates can be found on our web site at
ftp://ftp.datamax-oneil.com and then
installed in the printer.
WARNING
If power is lost while UPGRADING SOFTWARE is displayed, the printer will
become non-functional and will require factory programming or a main logic
card.
Before updating, identify the current program version by printing a Configuration Label (see
Section 4.3.2). Compare that version string to those available from our web site then
download the desired file onto your computer’s hard drive. Follow the steps below to update
the version:
