Flash New Firmware
Function Explaining
When this item is selected, the imager is queried
for the current firmware version information. The
version information is then displayed in the text
window.
This item allows new engine firmware to be
installed into the imager. When Flash New
Firmware is selected; you are prompted to select
the firmware file. The file, which must have the
extension ".bin", must reside on the PDT. The
firmware file can be copied to the PDT using
Microsoft Explorer as long as the PDT is linked to
the PC via Microsoft's Active Sync. The default
search location is the My Documents folder. Once
you select a file, the file is transferred to the
engine. The engine then writes the new firmware
into flash memory and re-initializes. The flashing
of the firmware and subsequent restart takes
approximately 30 seconds. The application
insures that the unit will not enter suspend mode
during that time.
Note: It is very important that the device remains
awake during this time. Failure to do so can
cause the scan engine to become unusable.
