8.0 Upgrading the Printer Firmware
8.1 Introduction
The SNAP 700 printer firmware can be updated electronically using “UPG” files
received from Avery Dennison. A “UPG” file is a software file with “.upg” as an
extension. Files are either “zip” files, which must be extracted/unzipped, or UPG
files.
To upgrade the printer firmware, you will need a “UPG” file.
After receiving the “UPG” file, you may upgrade your printer one of three
methods way:
PCMate Platinum can perform the upgrade. This takes approximately 15-
20 minutes. Please be patient.
USB flash drive containing UPG file inserted into one of the USB slots on
the back of the printer can perform the upgrade. This takes approximately
4-5 minutes.
The Ethernet Interface Option if installed can be used to upgrade through
the printer’s web server.
8.2 Selecting the UPG file
The UPG file you need will depend on the motherboard in the SNAP printer being
upgraded. If you are unsure, you can remove the back cover and see the
electronic board installed in the bottom of the printer that is horizontal.
Please see the information posted on the support website:
