USING AN IC CARD

1.3 USING AN IC CARD
1.3.1 PREPARING THE IC CARD
Two Methods
There are two ways to do this:
• Swapbox
• Copy to an IC card plugged into the printer, from a PC via a parallel cable
The Swapbox method is covered in a separate manual. In this appendix, we will
concentrate on the second method.
If there is any firmware already on the IC card, it will be overwritten.
Preparation
In summary, the procedure is as follows:
1. Make a byte-swapped file of the firmware file on a PC.
• Use the Byte Swap button in the Stinger Service Utility.
2. Copy this file from the PC to an IC card plugged into a G031 or G032 printer,
via a parallel cable.
• The computer must be connected to the printer with a parallel cable.
• The IC card must be connected to the IC card adapter before being plugged
into the printer.
• Use either the Stinger Service Utility (for use with Windows systems) or MS-
DOS (use the 'copy /b' command).
NOTE: When using the Windows utility, all Windows utility files must be copied to
the same directory.
When using MS-DOS, download the download.hed file first (supplied with
the Stinger Service Utility), then download the controller firmware file.
