7.0 Upgrading the Printer Firmware
7.1 Introduction
The SNAP 700 printer firmware can be updated electronically using “UPG” files
received from Avery Dennison. A “UPG” file is a software file with “.upg” as an
extension. Files are either “zip” files, which must be extracted/unzipped, or UPG
files.
To upgrade the printer firmware, you will need a “UPG” file.
After receiving the “UPG” file, you may upgrade your printer one of three
methods way:
PCMate Platinum can perform the upgrade. This takes approximately 15-20
minutes. Please be patient.
USB flash drive containing UPG file inserted into one of the USB slots on the
back of the printer can perform the upgrade. This takes approximately 4-5
minutes.
The Ethernet Interface Option if installed can be used to upgrade through the
printer’s web server.
7.2 Selecting the UPG file
The UPG file you need will
depend on the motherboard in
the SNAP printer being
upgraded. If you are unsure,
you can remove the back
cover and see the electronic
board installed in the bottom
of the printer that is horizontal.
A “new” motherboard looks
like this:
If you have this in your printer,
you will need firmware 3.31 or
higher.
Firmware 3.31 also works for
all older motherboards except
as listed in the table below.
