General Information
Over a period of time, the printer's firmware is subject to constant development
and revisions to allow for new features, easier error correction, etc.
The firmware is stored in a flash-EPROM, which represents a new technology
in thermal transfer printers. For firmware updates, a file containing the updated
version can be copied to the printer using the parallel interface.
The firmware file is available on a disk or can be obtained from the Internet.
The
