LCD.

Refer to Chapter 5 "1.3.20 Checking of CIS Travel and Specifying of CIS Type (Maintenance mode

After execution, install the firmware in Step 1.3 when "PLS UPDATE PROG" is displayed on the
LCD.
1.3 Install the Firmware (Maintenance mode 28)
This procedure is not necessary, if the message "PLS UPDATE PROG" does not appear on the LCD
after "1.1 Customize destinations" and "1.2 Automatically set the CIS type". When "PLS UPDATE
PROG" is displayed on the LCD, refer to Chapter 5 "1.3.10 Updating of Firmware Using an
External Memory (Maintenance mode 28)" on how to install the firmware.
You can install the firmware using your PC. The procedure is as follows:
(1) Turn on the machine. Switch the machine to the maintenance mode.
(2) Connect the machine to your PC using a USB cable.
(3) On the PC, run "filedg32.exe".
(4) Drag and drop the firmware (e.g., lz00001_a.pjl) onto the Brother Maintenance USB Printer
driver icon in the [filedg32] window.
Note Run the firmware file after extracting it. The file extension is ".exe", which means it's a self-
extracting file. Double-clicking the file decompresses it.
After approx. 2 to 3 minutes, the loading operation is complete and the machine automatically
reboots and returns to standby.
(5) Displaying the installed Firmware Version (refer to Chapter 5, Section 2.1)
Confirm the firmware version through the Function Menu. Confirm successful installation
based on the LCD display.
Note If file writing failed, turn the machine off then turn it on again. The machine will make a
continuous beeping sound. Since the machine automatically goes to firmware write mode, repeat the
write procedure mentioned above using the firmware with the extension .upd.
