The firmware is stored in flash-PROM on the control board. A replacement control board may
not contain the same firmware version that you are currently using, so if you replace control
board for some reason, upgrade it to the firmware version you want to use.

Download the firmware from the Zebra web site http://www.zebra.com. There you will also
find the Toolbox utility program (Windows™ software) facilitating the loading of the
firmware into the printer.

Functions and features are being added from time to time affecting the firmware in the printer.
Please visit our web site http://www.zebra.com for the latest firmware version.

area and upgrade can become very expensive.
