116Maintenance Firmware

Firmware

The firmware is stored in flash-PROM on the control board. A replacement control board may not contain the same firmware version that you are currently using, so if you replace control board for some reason, upgrade it to the firmware version you want to use.

Loading

Important • Always design your kiosk system so that remote upgrade of firmware is possible. If you need to upgrade firmware in the future, the kiosks can be spread over a vast area and upgrade can become very expensive.

Download the firmware from the Zebra web site http://www.zebra.com. There you will also find the Toolbox utility program (Windows™ software) facilitating the loading of the firmware into the printer.

Are you using a Windows environment to load the firmware?
