3. The Paused Light will flash during the download. Then, following a successful download, the
Paused Light will illuminate and then the printer will reset. (The previous printer setup will not be
affected unless substantial firmware data structure changes have occurred.)
4. Print a Database Configuration Label to verify your new firmware version.
Note: The Fault Light will illuminate if the download was unsuccessful. In this case, a reset will
occur and the original firmware will remain operational. (If the reset does not occur, cycle
power OFF and ON; and, if the printer fails to boot-up, turn OFF power then simultaneously
press and hold F1 and F3 while turning ON the printer.) Try resending the file, and then if
unsuccessful check the following possible causes:
•
An invalid or corrupted file was downloaded - Ensure the file is correct and applicable for
the printer model.
•
Possible communications error - Check the interface connection between the host and
printer, ensuring that a properly shielded cable has been used.
•
Possible Flash memory problem – Replace the Main PCB; see Section 4.3.
