LCD UPDATE

You have the option to carry out two types of update:

• Screen firmware update

• Screen graphic resources update

Before starting, you should download the firmware update file and the graphic resources file from the

www.evolis.com website

1. Go to Support and Drivers, then select the printer model.

2. Under Drivers and Firmware, click the file for the corresponding Firmware.

3. Accept the download then save the file in a directory on your hard drive.

4. Then go to Menus & Preferences, Printers and Scanners, and choose your printer. Go to Options &

Supplies, Utility, and click on Open Printer Utility. The Evolis Card Printer (comtool) window will open.

Click on Identify then Upgrade.

Select the folder where you extracted the downloaded file and open the firmware file (.firm) or the

graphic resources (.lcdbmp).

5. When prompted by the program, follow the instructions to select the printer and start the operation.

The firmware transfer is in progress.

If the printer is not showing the Ready status, this means that the update has not been carried out correctly

or, possibly, that your printer is not working properly. Check the connection cables and run a new update.

If you experience problems while updating the firmware or graphic resources, please contact your Evolis

reseller, who can provide new installation files.

Never interrupt the transfer between the computer and printer during the download phase

(powering off the printer or computer, unplugging a cable).

LCD CALIBRATION

Similarly, using the utility (comtool), you can enter commands to calibrate your screen if required.

Toobtain these commands, please contact your Evolis reseller.
