Firmware
The firmware is stored in flash-PROM on the control board. When replacing a control board,
be sure to verify the control board contains the same firmware version that you are currently
using and upgrade it if necessary.
Loading
Download the firmware from the Zebra web site http://www.zebra.com . There you will also
find the Zebra Toolbox program (Windows™ software) facilitating the loading of the
firmware into the printer.
Are you using a windows environment to load the firmware?
Firmware and Hardware Revisions
It is important that you load Firmware that suits the hardware revision of the control board in
your printer. The hardware revision is printed on the self-test printout, or can be read out of the
printer with the <ESC><ENQ><10> command.
Functions and features are added occasionally which affect the firmware in the printer. Please
visit our website www.zebra.com for the most current firmware version.
If… Then…
No a. Send ESC NUL (1B 00 hex) to the printer.
b. Wait 0.5 seconds.

d. Wait until the printer buzzes to confirm that the loading is complete (the
presenter motor runs for a second).
Yes a. The loader program contains a help file with detailed instructions on how to
load the firmware into the printer.
Caution • The loading and burning can take up to one minute. Do not abort before one
minute by turning OFF the power to the printer. Doing so may leave the printer in a state
where new firmware cannot be loaded. If this happens, please return the printer to a Zebra
authorized service provider.
