Section 8: Firmware Upgrades

The purpose of this Technical Update (dated 11/06/2002) was to announce the release of the Persona C16 EPROM Version 1.0.7, as described below.

•Improvement No. 1: This new version addresses the issues relating to the printing of

resin cards in the Batch Mode. (Technician Note: Periodically, the Printer would reset itself due to issues with the previous Firmware. The new Firmware corrects these issues and increases reliability when printing resin cards in the Batch Mode.)

•Improvement No. 2: This new version also addresses the issues relating to the variance in where the Printer would begin encoding during the Magnetic Encoding process. (Technician Note: This variance had created the potential for incorrectly encoded cards. This version corrects the variance and increases reliability during this Encoding process.)

The purpose of this Technical Update (dated 04/29/2003) was to provide information on a Firmware improvement to the Persona￿ C16 Card Printer. The ECO C04008 has been released. No action is required. This is for your information only.

•Firmware Improvement: The ribbon-queuing improvement makes the ribbon handling more robust to ensure the maximum number of prints from our color ribbons.
