Updating the Scanner’s Firmware
1. Check for and download the latest version by right-clicking on the application icon, and then select Check for
firmware updates from the list.
2. Update the scanner’s firmware to the last version downloaded by clicking on the update button next to the
Firmware version field.
The update process will start as soon as you click the button. Do not turn off the scanner or unplug it from the
computer while the update is in process. Doing so may result in your scanner being permanently damaged.
3. A status message will be displayed on-screen while the update is in progress. Also, the scanner’s lights will blink
rapidly while the update is in progress.
4. When the update is complete a notification will be displayed and the scanner should automatically power off.
If the scanner power remains on, power off the scanner then power it back on again.
Note that when the scanner is powered off, it will disappear from the scanner list in the XMS PC Connect
application. Simply turn the scanner back on to verify the current firmware on the scanner and to change any
other settings you want.
Warning: if the status messages displayed on-screen indicate that more than one update is being applied, follow
the steps on-screen. You will be prompted to power cycle the scanner during the update process.
