OWNLOADING SYSTEM SOFTWARE

The system software in your Crown printer is stored in flash ROM, read-only memory that
can be erased and rewritten to “in a flash.” Updated system software allows you to take
advantage of future enhancements to the printer.

The use of flash memory for system software storage offers the opportunity for easy field
update of system code. A resident loader is provided to enable you to install all code updates.
Installation of a code update overwrites the previous contents of the flash memory.
