Problem for Zebra TLP 2844-Z Thermal Label Printer

Unable to upgrade Zebra TLP 2844-Z printers firmware




By ckr_acsi_off on Jun 24, 2009

" "
I have 4 Zebra TLP 2844-Z printers, 2 have HW version V13.0.0.42, 2 have HW version V18.0.0.42. I upgraded the firmware to V45.11.7z of the 2 printers at V18 with no problem.

However, after flashing the 2 printers at V13 using Zdownloader V2.0.6 (and powering off/on), the fw version is unchanged. I have tried both over the network and with serial connection, the Zdownloader shows the upload progresses just fine. When uploading using the serial connection, the status LED blinks green, when using the network connection it is solid green (I take it this is normal).

My current FW version is V45.11.2a.

The printers appear to function normally, I can point my browser to their IP address and change the configuration/settings, and I can send commands to them using the setup utility and I get a response back from a status inquiry for example.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Any time you are upgrading the Firmware the light should flash red/orange, when complete the light will come solid green. Serial connections are very slow, you can do the upgrade via the Parallel port which is faster. I would not use the Ethernet port. If the upload is interrupted you could corrupt the main board which will require replacement. Firmware should only be upgraded if there is an issue to be overcome.
