updated. Any logs will also be erased.

Obtain the new software file (with a *.cod extension) and save the
file to your PC hard drive.

MMS-3
with an RS232 cable connected to a COM port
(most likely COM1) on a PC having a communications program
like Hyperterminal.

Printer

Service Manual

Start the communications program on the PC and select the COM
port with the connection to the
MMS-3

Baud Rate =
19200
