4.5 Upgrading Ci to a higher model
If your scanner is a model Ci m (mono only) or Ci c (color) SmartLF Ci, it can be upgraded by purchasing one of the
three SmartLF Ci Field Upgrade products available. The upgrades are ordered by Product Code (see table below).
The process for model upgrading is as follows:
STEP 1
– GENERATE THE UPGRADE FILE USING THE SMARTLF Ci SERIAL PROGRAM
–
Confirm that SmartLF Ci is connected and working (i.e. driver installed properly)
–
From the SmartLF Ci distribution CD locate the SmartLF Ci serial.exe program which is inside the Scanner upgrade folder (itself
inside the Utilities folder). You may need to alter your Explorer viewing options to see the full .EXE extension of this file.
–
Double-
clicking “SmartLF Ci Serial” will retrieve the
Scanner model number from the attached SmartLF Ci
scanner (in this case a Ci).
–
In the Serial Number box type in the 8-digit number printed
on the label attached to the back of the scanner.
–
Now select the model you wish your unit to be upgraded to
using the Desired Model scroll bar
–
Press the „Record Serial Number‟ button to create the
upgrade file.
STEP 2 - SEND THE UPGRADE FILE WITH YOUR ORDER AND THE PRODUCT CODE YOU REQUIRE TO
YOUR SMARTLF Ci SUPPLIER TO OBTAIN YOUR UPGRADE PROGRAM

STEP 3
– UNPACK THE UPGRADE PROGRAM
–
The supplier will send you a file that has the serial number of the
scanner to be upgraded as part of its name. Unpack this file to a
temporary directory and run the program named “SmartLF Ci
ModelUpdate.exe”. Click the button labelled „Update Model‟. This will
then upgrade the connected SmartLF Ci scanner and display the words,
„Scanner firmware updated OK‟ on the scanner display.
–
Exit the program and then turn SmartLF Ci OFF. Wait for 5 seconds before turning the scanner back ON again. Verify that
SmartLF Ci is displaying the model type consistent with the upgrade process just carried out.
