6Press the Feed key and keep it pressed and at the same time switch on the power to the printer (also see “Test Mode” on page 29). A test label will be printed. Check the version number on the test label to verify that the upgrading has been successful.

7Tap the Feed key once to leave the Dump Mode and return to normal operation.

8You can use the same memory cartridge to upgrade several printers by moving the cartridge from printer to printer and repeat this procedure for each printer. Be careful not to change the position of the memory cartridge switch until all printers have been upgraded.

9The cartridge can be used as a normal memory expansion cartridge after the upgrading is completed. Move the switch back to normal position, insert the cartridge in a printer, and switch on the printer. The memory cartridge will then be formatted automatically.
