5.8 Updating the Boot Loader
Updates for the Boot Loader program can be found at ftp://ftp.datamaxcorp.com
Before performing an update, identify the printer’s current Boot Loader version by printing a
Configuration Label (see Section 4.2.4) and comparing the installed version to those
available from the FTP site. Download the desired version onto your computer’s hard drive
then follow the steps below to install the Boot Loader program.
If power is lost while UPGRADING SOFTWARE is displayed, the printer will
become non-functional and will require factory programming or a main
logic card.
