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 the control board for some reason, upgrade it to the firmware version you want to use.

Please visit our web site http://www.zebra.com for the most current firmware versions.

Loading

Note • We recommend you to 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 most current firmware version 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?

If…	Then…

No	a.	Send <ESC><NUL> (1BH 00H) to the printer.
	b.	Wait 0.5 seconds.
	c.	Send the firmware file to the printer.
	d. Wait until the printer buzzes to confirm that the loading is complete (the
		presenter motor runs for a second).

Yes	The loader program contains a help file with detailed instructions on how to
	load the firmware into the printer.

Important • The loading and burning can take up to one minute. Do not abort before one minute by turning OFF the power to the printer. Doing so may leave the printer in a state where new firmware cannot be loaded. If this occurs, please return the printer to a Zebra authorized service provider.

Functions and features are being added from time to time, affecting the firmware in the printer. The following table lists the changes of general interest. The firmware number is divided into two sections, the header and the version, separated by a dash.

Printer	Barcode support	Firmware header

TTP 7030	1D barcodes	1856-xxx

TTP 7030	2D PDF-417	1860-xxx

A printer can only be updated with firmware that has the same header as the original number. The -xxx indicates the firmware version; for example, 330 means firmware version 3.30.

Note • Specification subject to changes without notice.
