New Value Class Printer Firmware

Advantidge is happy to be a Premier Partner of Zebra Technologies and we announce that value class Zebra ID card printers—P100i™, P110m™, P110i™ and P120i™—introduce support for a new firmware release, version 2.00. This new firmware replaces the current version 1.18.25, and is compatible with the current Value class driver version 8.00.

 

The new firmware v2.00 features the following:

Automatic switching between the card feeder and the manual single-feed modes.

A setting via a firmware command allows the printer to accept an plastic ID card from either the front single-feed slot or the ID card feeder hopper. If an ID card is inserted in the front feed slot, the printer will use this card instead of the cards in the card feeder hopper.
(The current card feeder and single-feed modes are still supported.)

New color sensor LED that senses the Zebra color ribbon panels.
(The new firmware is compatible with the current color sensor LED.)

Below is the table showing the compatibility for the Value class printers with the new firmware and current driver.

Important Note: The new firmware is only compatible with the driver version indicated below. Please install both the firmware and associated driver.

Printer Model	Firmware Version	Driver Version
P100i	2.00	8.00
P110m	2.00	8.00
P110i	2.00	8.00
P120i	2.00	8.00

The new Zebra firmware will be released on the first week of December, 2010
