4-4d UPDATING THE FIRMWARE (UNDER WINDOWS)
Updating the rmware is a simple operation but one which, if not properly completed, can result in your printer breaking down.
Before any update, please contact your Evolis reseller who will be able to guide you on the advisability or otherwise of carrying out an
upgrade. In general, such updates are only required in the event of problem or malfunction that has been clearly identied by your Evolis
reseller.
Updates can be downloaded from the website at www.evolis.com:
Ê
Go to drivers & support section
Ë
Select your printer model.
Ì
Then click on the le for the corresponding Firmware.
Í
Accept the download then save the le in a directory on your hard drive. The rmware may be stored compressed as
a zip le, which you will need to extract.
Î
Then go to Control Panel, Devices and Printers, Printer Properties, Utility and click on Printer rmware update. Now look
in the directory for the rmware installation program, and open it.
Ï
When prompted by the program, click on the Download button to run the job. The rmware download is in progress.
Ð
After about thirty seconds, the rmware has transferred to the printer and the operation is complete.
Ñ
If the printer is not showing a ‘READY’ status, this means that the update has not been carried out correctly or, possibly,
that the printer is not working properly. Check the connection cables and run a new update.
The update is complete, and your equipment is ready to customise your cards.
Never interrupt the transfer between
computer and printer during the download phase (powering off the printer
or computer, unplugging a cable). This would result in a complete inability to restart the printer. Should such
an incident occur, please contact your Evolis reseller.
