Updating System Software
The system software in your QMS 1725E Print System is stored on
4 MB of flash ROM, read-only memory that can be erased and rewrit-
ten to “in a flash.” This allows you to update the system software with-
out opening up the printer and installing new PROMs. Updated
system software allows you to take advantage of future enhance-
ments to the printer.
» Note: The software loadable system mentioned in this section does not
modify the code used by QMS Viking Interface cards.
Use the Administration/Miscellaneous/New Flash Image menu to
update the system software (image in flash ROM).
