The SNAP 700 printer software can be updated electronically. Software
upgrades are distributed as a single file called the upgrade or .UPG file. PCMate
Platinum will take the UPG file and automatically upgrade the printer. Once the
upgrade process is started, no other action is required.
The upgrade can only be performed by PCMate Platinum. Therefore, you must
have a Microsoft PC running PCMate Platinum to upgrade the printer software.
See Section 2.1.3 for the minimum requirements to run PCMate Platinum.
The easiest way to get the upgrade file is through Avery Dennison Online.
(Contact your Avery Dennison Sales representative for more information). If you
have an Avery Dennison Online account, contact your online coordinator and
request that an upgrade be scheduled for your account. Once this is done, log
onto Avery Dennison Online, select "In-Plant", then "Retrieve Updates." The
upgrade file will be automatically put on your PC, and the next time you start up
PCMate Platinum, it will offer to upgrade the printer.
Release upgrades files can be obtained from the Avery Dennison IBMD web site
at http://www.ibmd.averydennison.com/ . Navigate to the upgrade files as
follows: Support – In Plant Support – Software Downloads – Software
Downloads – Printer Operating Systems Releases – SNAP - SNAP Operating
Systems. Copy the desired UPG files and paste it into the c:\D2COMM\Control
directory on your computer.
Note: This path is correct as of the writing and is subject
to change without notice. If you cannot find the proper link
contact Avery Dennison Customer Service.
In order to perform the upgrade, the printer must be turned on and connected to
PCMate Platinum. Refer to the PCMate Platinum manual for instructions on
connecting the printer.
