CAUTION: Power should be disconnected from the print head prior to connecting or dis-
connecting any external devise, including: PC, handheld, controller or print head daisy
chain cables. Electrical arcing may occur if external cabling is connected or disconnected
while power is supplied to the unit.
Ensure the firmware upgrade
program (TJ_*.exe) is available
on a local computer. Connect a
DB-9 serial cable between the
computer and the print head.
Run the TJ_*.exe program and

be loaded on any print head at
one time.

sage creation and print, respectively. Refer to “Appendix D: File Backup and Restore” on
page 33, step 4. Select the "Transfer file from PC to controller" option. Browse the PC and
