SCANTEAM 5700 User’s Guide
The scanner’s internal operational firmware is contained in a “Flash EEPROM”
(a programmable/ erasable ROM – Read Only Memory). This enables you to
download new firmware upgrades, without opening the scanner or changing a
chip (IC). A download kit that includes the software (in DOS or Windows
versions) and an instruction manual is available from your sales distributor.
The scanner also has a special “cloning” capability. Cloning provides a quick,
convenient way to re-program installed scanners from a master unit containing
new or updated firmware, eliminating the need to use a PC for each serial
download. After upgraded firmware is downloaded into the master unit, the
master may be used to program other scanners. (A cloning cable is used, and
may be ordered from your distributor.)
