ROM

IRMWARE

The MS9590 and the MS9591 are part of Metrologic's line of scanners with flash
upgradeable firmware. The upgrade process requires a new firmware file
supplied to the customer by a customer service representative

and Metrologic's

MetroSet2 software

. A personal computer running Windows 95 or greater with

an available RS232 serial or USB port is also required to complete the upgrade.

PowerLink Cable #54-54014 is required when using RS232 for the
upgrade process. This cable can be ordered from Metrologic at
1-800-ID-METRO. Do not use the standard cable supplied with
keyboard wedge or RS485 scanner interface kits. If using USB for the
upgrade process, the standard USB Type A cable provided with the
scanner can be used.

Warning!

Do not disconnect the cable or turn off power to the scanner during the
flash upgrade process. Failure to comply with this warning will cause
a critical scanner failure.
