8.4 Upgrade Firmware by Add-On Card (R-400plus/R-400Kplus Only)
In very abnormal case, the Boot-Up program located at BOOT sector of flash ROM in
R-400plus/R-400Kplus might be corrupted (supposedly it is impossible to happen). This will
cause the printer fail to perform firmware upgrade with the above normal procedures. In this case,
you might refer to the following to upgrade the firmware.
1.
Refer to step 1~2 in section 7.1 and Figure 7-1 to disassemble the printer till expansion
slot (JP11) and JP5 are accessible.
2.
All the jumpers on JP5 (1,2 position) should be put on 2,3 position.
3.
Put “Add-On Card” (it is a 2MB Flash Memory Card with “Booter firmware”) on JP11.
4.
Turn on the printer and wait until “MEDIA” and “RIBBON” LEDs blinking alternately.
5.
Turn off the printer.
6.
Remove “Add-On Card” from JP11.
7.
Put all the jumpers on JP5 to the NORMAL (1, 2 position) position again.
8.
Put top and middle covers back to reassemble the printer.
9.
Turn on the printer, if “READY” LED blinks four times that means the corrupt case is
solved.
10.
Then refer to steps in section 8.1 or 8.2 to upgrade firmware.
8.5 Verification
To confirm that you had successfully changed the firmware you just check the self-configuration
printout.
1.
Turn off the printer until all the LEDs are OFF.
2.
Press FEED button and turn on the printer.
3.
When the motor starts rotation, release the button.
Check the version code and date code, also the checksum code (must be ‘0000’).
