Updating The Printer Firmware - DataCard CP60 Service Manual

Updating the Printer Firmware

There are two methods for updating the firmware in the printer. The preferred
method is to automatically update the firmware (if required) when a new version
of the printer driver is installed. Each of the methods is described below.
Updating the firmware with the printer driver is preferred as it is fully
automated. Just follow the prompts on screen. Do not use this method if any of
the following are true:
If Datacard has provided you with a flash update file that is specifically
•
engineered for a customer.
• If Datacard has provided you with a flash update file that is newer than the
firmware utility in the printer driver.
Update the firmware using Diagnostics if an *.fls file is used. After selecting the
*.fls file, the rest of the procedure is automated.
