Firmware Upgrades
Occasionally it will be necessary for some users to update the TriCoder's firmware to fix a bug or take advantage of new capabilities
added to the TriCoder. The TriCoder uses a Flash EPROM and can be updated by downloading a file using the
Hardware Utilities
.
The latest firmware file can always be found on our website at:
http://www.barcodehq.com/downloads.html
or call us and we can send
you the file by email.
How to Update
Once you have the new firmware file, be aware that you should first upload all data files and clone the TriCoder to a computer file
before starting a firmware download. Data files and tables can be lost in firmware updates. Sometimes the
Setup
and the
Programs
in
the TriCoder can also be lost, depending on the scope of the firmware change.
To initiate a firmware download to the TriCoder, run the
Hardware Utilities
program (also available for download on our website at
http://www.barcodehq.com/downloads.html
or on the
Utilities
CD-ROM that came with your TriCoder. Click on the Firmware Loader
option at the
TriCoder Manager
menu and follow the instructions in the software to complete the firmware download:
