OPERATORS MANUAL
B.4 FIRMWARE UPDATING PROCEDURE
- Copy the CIM_BIOS.EXE program and the
firmware file (e.g. V4010601.hex) into a single
directory (or to the floppy disk root).
- Run the PC in DOS mode or use the Windows
command "Prompt".
- With the machine OFF, at the DOS "prompt",
type the command line with the required
parameters (e.g.: cim_bios V4010601.hex
com1 U 4). The program will wait for a
synchronism character.
- While cim_bios is waiting for a synchronism
character, turn ON the machine: the
"download" will start automatically. The PC
will display the progress of the "download".
- When the "download" is complete, the new
firmware can be used immediately.
- Look at the number of the FW version shown
on the display to verify that the update is
complete. If required, turn the machine OFF
and back ON again.
N.B. DO NOT TURN OFF THE MACHINE
DURING THE DOWNLOAD.
B.5 CHANGE RESIDENT LOGOS AND FONT PROCEDURE
To know how to change resident logos and fonts
