3.5 Update the Firmware

Follow the steps in this section to determine whether the EC2000 firmware needs to be updated, and to
update it if necessary.

3.5.1 Check Firmware Revision Numbers

To check whether the EC2000 has the latest main logic board (MLB) and image printer firmware
installed, follow these steps:

1) Install any software updates MagTek Support Services has provided, using the instructions in section

3.4 Update the Software. This is a very important first step, because new revisions of firmware files
are distributed to the EC2000 via software updates.

2) From the EC2000 touchscreen, press the

Help

button to open the

Help

page.

3) In the

Version Information

list, note the Controller Firmware and Printer Firmware entries.
