4. PROGRAM DOWNLOAD
This section provides step by step instructions on how to setup and download the firmware to the B-SP2D
portable printer. The software for performing the program download will allow the download of the firmware
(application program and character generator) from the provided floppy disk. The application program and the
character generator are installed into the B-SP2D printer’s flash memory prior to being shipped to the cus-
tomer. However, if specifications should change at a later date, this software will allow downloading firmware
updates to the B-SP2D printer. The firmware download will be made from a personal computer via the IrDA
interface (or RS-232C interface). Without this software, the firmware can be copied from the B-SP2D printer
to another B-SP2D printer via IrDA communication.
