Upgrading/Changing your printer Operating System
The Ithaca Series 180 thermal printer’s operating system is stored on a non-volatile flash
memory chip. The flash chip in your printer can be reprogrammed at any time using
software utilities supplied by TransAct Technologies Incorporated. These utilities give
you the ability to upgrade the capabilities of your printer’s operating system when newer
versions become available, as well as load customized versions of it to meet your specific
needs. All this process requires is that the Series 180 be connected to a host PC and the
appropriate software utility then run; the entire process takes less than 1.5 minutes.
