Changing Configuration Settings Using SmartSystems
You can use the SmartSystems console to change configuration
settings on your printer. The printer ships with the SmartSystems
client loaded on it. The console is part of SmartSystems and is
available from the Intermec website. To download SmartSystems, go
to www.intermec.com/products/smrtsysfoundation/index.aspx.
Upgrading the Firmware
The latest firmware and software is available for download from the
Intermec website at www.intermec.com. You can upgrade the
firmware on your printer using:
• PrintSet. You can download PrintSet from the downloads page for
the printer on the Intermec website at www.intermec.com.
• the printer home page.
• SmartSystems.
• a serial cable and a communications program, such as
HyperTerminal.
Upgrading the Printer Firmware Using PrintSet
You can only upgrade your printer using PrintSet when the printer is
running IPL, Fingerprint, or ESC/P printer languages. To upgrade the
printer using PrintSet, you need to install PrintSet on your PC and
purchase a serial cable (P/N 075497).
1 If your printer is running ZSim or DSim, change the printer
language to IPL, Fingerprint, or ESC/P. For help, see “Changing
the Printer Language” on page 7.
2 Connect your printer to your printer using a serial cable. For help,
see “Connecting the Printer Through the Serial Port” on
page 29.
When upgrading your firmware, make sure the battery in the
printer is fully charged. If the printer loses power during the
upgrade, the printer may be permanently damaged.
