Rebanding/Firmware Updates

Applying the firmware fixes
  • WARNING: Upgrading the firmware will erase all previously stored data. Use software to back up your programming before proceeding
  • The PSR-300/400 firmware is NOT interchangeable with the PRO-163/164. You must use the correct firmware update file for your scanner model.
  • The scanner will tell you which version it has when you turn the scanner on while pressing the PGM key. Once you know the boot loader version, use the updater that matches that (thanks mikey60).
