1.8.1 Alternative Power Supply Arrangements
The ZG310 is designed to be operated from a 9V to 36V voltage source that is capable
of supplying the primary power for the printer.
The electrical specification for the power supply input of the ZG310 printer is:
The average and peak current requirements can be adjusted by firmware control
codes. See the Service Manual for details.
The recommended power supply input is either a 12V or 24V vehicle battery, this allows
the printer to perform at its best. However, the printer will automatically accommodate
any DC input voltage in the range 9V to 36V. In addition, power supplies with lower
current capacities may be accommodated by varying the internal Power Save
parameter. See the Service Manual or contact the factory for more details.

1.9 Printer Firmware Revisions
The manufacturer reserves the right to modify and improve the firmware in its printer
products at any time. Every effort is made to ensure backward compatibility, however,
no guarantee in this respect is given or implied.
The ZG310 includes a flash-reprogrammable microcontroller. This allows firmware
upgrades under customer control (including customized fonts, which may be created
using the Font Editor Utility). Refer to the factory for more information in this feature, if
required.
