Updating the System Software

When you upgrade your 751G, you are updating the operating system (OS) and the Persistent Storage Manager (PSM) files.

The PSM files are stored in the Flash File Store region, and deliver Intermec value-added functionality such as data collection, unit configuration and diagnostics, the Intermec wireless security suite, and the SmartSystems™ Foundation.

You need to download the latest upgrade files from the Intermec web site to your desktop PC. Contact your Intermec representative for web browser information, then do the following:

1Start your web browser and go to the Intermec web site at the location given by your representative.

2Click the applicable link, fill out the appropriate information, then click Submit Information. Click OK to continue.

3Click the link and download the .zip file to your PC.
