Appendix F: UPDATING PRINTER FIRMWARE
Occasionally there may be a need to update printer firmware either to enhance capabilities or correct
issues. Updating firmware via the serial or parallel interface is possible only after activating the printers
boot mode firmware. There are 2 ways to do this:
1) Selecting the F/W Update mode from the hidden menu.
#
Activate the hidden menu as described in Appendix E.
#
Scroll to the feature F/W Update Mode
#
Press the Cancel key to activate boot mode firmware
2) Powering on the printer with DIP switch 7 set in the ON position.
#
Power the printer off.
#
Set DIP switch 7 ON which is located on the back of the printer.
#
Power on the printer
Note: When using method 2 to activate boot mode, be sure to turn DIP switch 7 OFF after the
firmware update is complete before rebooting or cycling power on the printer.
Either method will activate the boot mode firmware enabling printer firmware to be updated as described
below.
