The following procedure describes the steps necessary to upload a new
version of the scanner software into flash memory on the scanner.
Use the serial Config port on the front of the scanner to upload firmware
files to the scanner.
The serial cable for a standard PC COM port must have lines 2 and 3
swapped. It doesn’t require any handshaking. Pins 2 and 3 are wired the
same as a PC 9-pin COM port.
Connect to the serial port using any communication software. The scanner
serial port supports any baud rate from 9600 baud to 38.4 Kbaud, with no
parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. The scanner automatically detects the baud
rate you are using.
1. Cycle power on the SLC.
2. When the scanner is powering up, the FAULT LED flashes for 2
seconds. While it is flashing, press the exclamation mark [!] in
your communication software to tell the scanner that you want to
upload software. You may need to press it several times while the
scanner tries to auto-detect the baud rate.
