The latest firmware and software is always available for download
from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
To download firmware updates
1 Visit the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
2 Click Service & Support > Downloads.
3 In the Select a Product field, choose the EasyCoder PD42
and you will be presented with the latest software available.
4 Download the latest firmware version to your computer.
5 Extract the zip file to a folder on your computer. Normally,
three versions of the firmware are included with the following
differences and naming conventions:
• No suffix: Normal firmware upgrade.
• FD suffix: Firmware upgrade resetting Factory Default.
Only applicable when upgrading through a CompactFlash
card.
• NU suffix: Boots with new firmware, yet printer returns to
previous firmware version on reboot (No Upgrade). Only
applicable when upgrading through a Compact Flash card.
To upgrade your printer with new firmware
• Use PrintSet 4 and follow the firmware upgrade procedure.
• If you have a network connection, browse to the printer’s
home page (see “Connecting the Printer to a Network” on
page 11), and select Maintenance. Upload the firmware file.
• Copy the firmware binary file to a CompactFlash card. Turn
the printer off, insert the card into the printer’s CompactFlash
socket and switch on the printer. The printer will be upgraded
automatically.
• Copy the firmware binary file to a USB mass storage device.
Put the firmware binary file in a directory named /d/upgrade,
and the printer will use that file to upgrade unless the printer
is already running that firmware. The printer will look for a
file named FIRMWARE.BIN first. If there is no such file, it
will look for any firmware file.
