3. Controller firmware (ROM 1)
(BIN file)
NOTE:
Rewriting with BIN file does not require connecting the printer to the computer. However, you
need CompactFlash card for this method, and also, you need to write the firmware data into
the CompactFlash card beforehand. Moreover, when you set PIT3, you must connect the
printer to the computer.
Using BIN file is recommended when you update firmware of several printers at once.
