Start -> Programs -> Fargo -> Fargo Diagnostic Utility
2 Select the Fargo Printer to upgrade from the drop-down box.
3 Go to the Firmware Updates tab.
4 If you need to download the update file from the Internet, then select the
Download Firmware button.
5 Choose the update file with the Select Firmware button.

manual for your specific Fargo card printer.
