F-1Transfer Printer THT-BP Precision

Appendix F - Firmware Updates

General Information

Over a period of time, the printer's firmware is subject to constant development

and revisions to allow for new features, easier error correction, etc.

The firmware is stored in a flash-EPROM, which represents a new technology

in thermal transfer printers. For firmware updates, a file containing the updated

version can be copied to the printer using the parallel interface.

The firmware file is available on a disk or can be obtained from the Internet.

Firmware Update Using the Parallel Interface

1. Switch from "Online" mode to the Offline Menu by pressing the key.

2. Press the key or the key until the "Service" menu is displayed.

Press the key to confirm the selection.

3. The display shows "Firmware upd.". Press the key.

4. If the "Firmware update" option is protected by a PIN, "PIN: 0000" will

appear on the display. The numbers of the PIN may be changed

individually using the key and the key. The number to be changed

will be flashing on the display. You can switch to the next number by

pressing the key. If the input of all numbers is correct, the access to

the "Firmware update" option is made possible.

5. Upload the firmware file (e.g. 297_5209.FMW) to the printer using MS-

DOS. Under MS-DOS, type the following copy command :

COPY 297_5209.FMW LPT1: /b

6. During the firmware upload, the printer's LCD will indicate the progress

with a progress bar. After completing the update process, the LCD will

display "OK ". This indicates the completion of the updating.

7. Press the key and the printer returns to "Online" mode.
