5.7 Firmware Update
Sometimes it is necessary update the firmware to solve a problem. The latest firmware file
may be obtained from your dealer or downloaded from our website www.dascom.com. Before
upgrading firmware, it is strongly recommended to print the Main Menu page to keep a record
of the old settings.
Note: Firmware update should only be performed by an authorized service person. We
disclaim any responsibility for any damage caused if it is performed by any other person.
To load new firmware, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the printer. Connect your PC to the parallel port on the printer.
2. Press and hold down 4 keys while powering on the printer.
3. Alternate flashing of L1 and L4 LEDs indicates printer is ready for firmware update.
4. Go to the DOS prompt window. Copy the firmware file (with extension .MOT) to your
printer as follows:
COPY /B <filename>.mot PRN
5. When new firmware is being received, L1 and L4 will flash together, followed by L1 and
L3 flashing together.
Note: Do not interrupt the downloading process to prevent possible flash memory
corruption.
6. When downloading is completed, the carriage returns to home position. Printer
initializes normally.
