Firmware Upgrades

Occasionally it will be necessary for some users to update the TriCoder's firmware to fix a bug or take advantage of new capabilities
added to the TriCoder. The TriCoder uses a Flash EPROM and can be updated by downloading a file using the Hardware Utilities.
The latest firmware file can always be found on our website at:

http://www.barcodehq.com/downloads.html

or call us and we can send

you the file by email.

How to Update

Once you have the new firmware file, be aware that you should first upload all data files and clone the TriCoder to a computer file
before starting a firmware download. Data files and tables can be lost in firmware updates. Sometimes the Setup and the Programs in
