Cleaning is absolutely required after a print head change.

Updating the Firmware is a simple operation, but if is not carried out fully, the result can be a disabled.

Prior to any update, please contact your Evolis dealer who can advise you as to whether or

not it is appropriate to carry out this operation. In general, this type of update is required

only in case of a problem or malfunction clearly identified by your Evolis dealer.

In order to download an update from the www.evolis.com/en/supservices/access.asp site, you must

first have registered your product with Evolis (see chapter

from updates).

1. Enter your login and password: a page is displayed.

2. Sel

ect the Tattoo2 printer model and the Firmware selection.

3. Accept the download and register the file in a directory on your hard disk.

The file is stored in compressed zip. file. You must extract it and save it in a temporary directory.

4. Then double-click on the file in the directory to start the download.

5. When ask

ed by the program, click on the

wnload

butt

on to start the operation.

The downloading is in process, the push button from the control panel flashes.

6. Aft

er about thirty sec

onds, the Firmware has been transferred to the printer, and the operation

is c

ompl

ete. The light from the push button comes on and the print head rises and falls to

indicate the correct transfer of the firmware. If the light fails to come on or flashes, this means

that the transfer has not been carried out correctly or possibly that the printer is not working

operl

. Check the c

onnections cables and perform a new transfer.

The update is complete, and your equipment is ready to personalize

your cards.

Never interrupt the transfer between the PC and the printer during the important down

loading phase (by turning off the printer or the PC, or disconnecting a cable). The result

would be the total inability to restart the printer.

If this ever occurs, please contact your Evolis dealer, who will replace your printer’s pro-

cessor card.
