Firmware Downloading
The Compuprint 9000 and 10000 family firmware (code) resides in flash memory. Throughout the printer's life cycle firmware changes
may be made to address issues discovered in the lab, or by customers in the field. Normally it's not necessary to upgrade your printer,
but if needed upgrading your printer's firmware is easy to do.
The Base and Interface code can be installed through either the printer's Parallel or Ethernet ports in a one file download operation.
Loading code though the Parallel Port
Follow these instructions to load code through the parallel port using any computer with DOS or DOS Windows®.
The instructions assume that you are nearby the printer and can access the operator panel.
1. For Windows computers install a 'Generic/Text Only' print driver.
In Windows click Start > Control Panel > Printer and Faxes > Add printer and choose the following settings.
Local printer attached to this computer
Port = LPT1
Manufacturer = Generic
Printer = Generic / Text Only
Name your printer >Generic /Text Only
Default printer = Yes
Printer Sharing > Do not share
Test Page > No
2. Printout the printer configuration menus to ensure original settings can be restored at the end of this procedure. Label the printouts
“old”.
Note: Loading new code does not change any of the printer's network interface settings (IP, subnet mask, gateway
addresses), but other user defined configuration settings can be reset to factory default values.
