Using the Windows Command Line version

Note

Before updating the Printer Firmware, the firmware files must be prepared and the printer must be set up. For more information, refer to Prerequisites.

To update the printer firmware in command line mode, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Command Prompt window.
  2. Enter the following command format:

    TseFlash/[model]/[download type]/[COM]/[parameter]/[file]/[print(opt)]/[status(opt)]/[ErrorTimeOut(opt)]

    Example

    TseFlash /7169 /i /COM1 /115200 /none /1 /7169_IPL_V2901.ipl /noskip /noprint

    This command displays the GUI interface and a progress bar indicator. The same GUI interface is displayed when the program is ran through the GUI Windows GUI Printer Firmware Update Utility.

  3. Select Flash Device. The application starts to flash the firmware to the connected printer and displays the progress window. The printer LED also blinks while firmware flashing is still in progress. After the application has successfully configured the new settings, it reboots the printer, displays a notification, and prints a diagnostic form.
