Flash Utility Information
The following instructions provide information on how to use the Flash Utilities
provided for the NCR 7167 series, 7168 series, 7197 series, 7198 series, 740x-K59x series,
734X series, 7649–F301, and 7199 printers. These instructions cover the utilities provided
for Windows GUI and Windows Command Line.
The following files comprise the utilities:
• TseFlash.exe—Windows GUI version of the Flash Utility
• TseFlash.com—Windows Command Line Flash Utility
File Configurations
The following kinds of firmware loads can be sent to the printer:
• Boot Firmware
• Boot Firmware for Ethernet
• Main Firmware
• Single Byte Font
• Two Byte Receipt Font
• Two Byte Slip Font
The Single Byte Font file has a file extension of .sfn. It is the font used for OEM
Codepages such as 437, 850, 858, and so forth, which require only a single byte of data to
define the character to be printed. The Two Byte Font files (Separately Defined for Slip
& Receipt) have a file extension .dfn. These are used to define the following Code
Pages:
• 932 – Japanese
• 936 – Simplified Chinese
• 949 – Korean
• 950 – Traditional Chinese
It is very rare for the Single Byte Font to have to be updated. Since there is only enough
memory in the printer for one of the Two Byte Fonts to be loaded at any time, the Two
Byte Font will typically need to be loaded prior to installation in the appropriate
country.
