The prerequisite for Intermec Fingerprint to start is that a flash
memory SIMM with a boot sector is fitted in P22 (marked "ROM2
Boot-Bank"). A DRAM SIMM must also be installed in P20
(marked "ROM0").
The printer can easily be updated with resources such as new
firmware versions, more fonts, application programs, images etc.
Such configuration packages can be created by means of the

to the printer by means of a flash memory card or via serial
communication. If a new firmware is put on a flash card it will
automatic be recognized as an update card and the firmware will be
copied to the printers internal flash-memory.
At power up, the printer starts executing code in the boot sector and
one of the following sequences will be performed:
1. A flash card with a firmware is recognized.
- The firmware will be copied from the flash card to the internal
DRAM.
- The processor will start to execute code from DRAM.
- The firmware on the flash card will be copied to the internal
flash memory.
2. A valid firmware is recognized in the internal flash memory.
- The firmware will be copied to DRAM and the processor will
start execute code from DRAM.
3. None of the conditions in 1 or 2 is fulfilled.
The printer will enter a boot shell and send out a boot prompt on
the RS232 port. Firmware can be downloaded through the
RS232 port, but it is recommended to use a flash memory card
to install a valid firmware.
