Loading #.##.##
PLEASE WAIT…
4. Note the number displayed in the #.##.## location noted above.
5. If your system displays a number lower than 4.01.00, then you WILL NEED to upgrade the firmware in the
module.
6. If your system displays the number 4.01.00, then you can use only the Model 440 printer without a
firmware upgrade. In this case, you WILL NEED to upgrade the firmware in the module in order to use
Model 650SE label printer.
7. If your system displays the number 4.02.00 or higher, then you can use either of the Model 440 or 650SE
