Firmware Update
Firmware Update is used to download application code to the scanner.
Application code versions are specific to your scanner. Consult with your sales representative
before downloading application code. If needed, an application code will be sent to you in
the form of a *.mot file.
To download application code:
1. First make sure the host is connected to your scanner.
2. Apply power to the scanner.
3. Before updating, verify the current firmware (see Firmware Verification (Part Number)
below.)
4. Click in the Firmware Update text box and select the file type you want to download.
This will open a file locator box.
5. Navigate to the appropriate file (a *.mot file) and open the file.
As application code begins to download to the scanner, the scanner will go silent, the
scanner's RDY and GD/RD LEDs will flash intermittently, and a progress indicator at the
bottom of the ESP window will let you know when the download is complete.
Caution: Do not interrupt power or disconnect the host cable while download is in
progress.
