These notes provide instructions on installing the EPROM chip firmware
included with your scanner purchase. You may or may not need to install the
EPROM chip. Read on to see if you need to.
If you have the original shipping box:
Check the label on the box to find out the EPROM version installed in your
scanner. It will be listed as F/W, followed by a version number. This is on
the same label as the serial number on the box. Then take note of the
following:
• If the EPROM version indicated on the label is equal to or larger than
the version number printed on the chip in the package, this means you
have the latest EPROM in your scanner. In this case, you don't need to do
anything, and ignore the rest of this material and proceed with scanning.
• If the listed version number is smaller than the version number on the
chip, this means the EPROM on your scanner is of an older version. In
this case, you must replace the EPROM on the scanner with the one
provided in the kit. See the instructions below for doing this.
If you don't have the original shipping box:
Follow the instructions below to locate the EPROM chip, compare the
numbers, then determine whether you need to replace the EPROM in the
scanner.
