Upgrading/Changing Printer Firmware
The Series 80PLUS thermal printer's firmware is stored on a nonvolatile flash memory chip. The
flash chip in your printer can be reprogrammed at any time using software utilities supplied by Ithaca
Peripherals. These utilities give you the ability to upgrade the capabilities of your printer when newer
versions of firmware become available, as well as load customized versions of it to meet your specific
needs. All the process requires is that the Series 80PLUS printer be connected to a host PC and the
appropriate software utility then run; the entire process takes less than five minutes. Contact Ithaca
Peripherals or visit our web site for more information about obtaining updates.
