4-3d Updating the firmware (under Windows)

Updating the firmware is a simple operation but one which, if not properly completed, can result in your printer breaking down. Before any update, please contact your BadgePass
dealer who will be able to guide you on the advisability of carrying out an upgrade. In general, such updates are only required in the event of problems or malfunction that have
been clearly identified by your BadgePass dealer.
Updates can be downloaded from the website at
1.
In the NXT5000 section, download and save the firmware update in a directory on your hard drive. It is stored as a compressed zip file, which you will need to extract.
2.
Once extracted, double-click on the firmware file in the directory in order to run the firmware installation program.
3.
When requested by the program, follow the instructions in order to select the printer and start the operation. The firmware download is in progress.
4.
After about thirty seconds, the firmware has transferred to the printer and the operation is complete.
5.
The test card is printed (in color if a color ribbon is fitted in the printer, or monochrome if the ribbon is monochrome, and on both sides if the double-sided printing function has
been enabled).
6.
If the printer is not showing a 'READY' status, this means that the update has not been carried out correctly or, possibly, that the printer is not working properly. Check the
connection cables and run a new update.
The update is complete, and your equipment is ready to customize your cards.
Never interrupt the transfer between computer and printer during the download phase (powering off the printer or computer, unplugging a cable). This would result in
a complete inability to restart the printer. Should such an incident occur, please contact your BadgePass dealer, who will replace your printer's processing board.
The update of the firmware can be carried out from the BadgePass Print Suite.
