Chapter 6 Update Firmware
Upgrade Terminal Firmware by Using a Firmware Upgrade Card
Follow these steps to transfer firmware files from the USB drive or SD card to
the terminal. Use the firmware upgrade drive or card that you created in the
previous section.
1. Insert the USB drive or SD card into the appropriate slot on your
terminal.
The firmware upgrade automatically starts and displays this dialog box.
2. Press Upgrade or [F7] on the terminal to start the firmware upgrade.
The terminal restarts and displays a progress bar during the upgrade.
When the upgrade is complete, the terminal restarts and executes the
new firmware.
3. Remove the USB drive or SD card from the terminal.
IMPORTANT • Do not remove or disconnect the USB drive or SD card while a firmware
upgrade is in process. If you do, you can corrupt the firmware and make
the terminal unstable.
• Do not power off the terminal during a firmware upgrade.
• USB hubs can produce unexpected behavior and are not recommended.
IMPORTANT If the firmware upgrade fails because of a power loss or the firmware
upgrade card is inadvertently removed, you can restore the terminal to the
factory default firmware. See Maintenance Mode Operations
on page 143
for details on how to restore the factory default settings.
