TTP 8200 FW version 3.30


Firmware 01778-330 supports printers that contain the T216 print head.
Firmware 01778-330 must only be loaded into printers that have a serial
number higher than the cut-in number listed above or to printers that have
been upgraded with the mechanical and electrical fixes that correspond with
FW version 3.28.
Toolbox script file included with the firmware will set appropriate hidden
parameter (n11) to compensate for different print heads. If parameters are
reset to default, then parameter (n11) should be set to 0 (zero) for C216
print heads or set to 150 for T216 print heads.
All printers that come in for repair that have a serial number higher than the
cut-in number listed above or have the print head replaced, must be
upgraded to 3.30 firmware.
Firmware 01778-330 must not be loaded into printers with a serial number
lower than 3-0638-00001. It can only be loaded into printers with a serial
number higher than 3-0638-00001.
Note


If you have loaded Firmware 01778-330 in a printer with a serial number
lower than 3-0638-00001, you must connect via USB and reload Firmware
01778-321. If you have questions, please contact Zebra Technical Support.
With this firmware, maximum printing speed has been set to 3.2 inches per
second. This was done to allow best darkness level with the Meanwell 150
and 200 Watt power supply. For customers that require full speed, 4 inches
per second, they can set parameter 55 to 0 (zero). This will be acceptable
for text printing and light graphics that do not require more than half of the
print head pixels activated for one print line.

Resolved some parallel port communication issues.
New hidden parameter (n11) to compensate for different print heads. Setting
0 is for C216 print heads and setting 150 for T216 print heads. The T216 was
introduced on printer Serial No. 4-0812-05545 and is in all printers after that.
“Pull/Eject Speed set by n31 (pull speed).
The retract cycle eject phase set to 1+half n31.
If no fonts are loaded, “No fonts loaded” will be printed on the self-test
receipt.
If the stored font index (parameter n14) is an invalid index, the printer will use
index 0.
Paper is synchronized with BM after self-test printouts (if in BM mode).
Eject speed changed to 9, Clear Presenter speed changed back to 20.
Fixed a bug where nodes never got deleted if the printer entered an error
state.
CTS active while burning flash.
Adjusted debounce filter in presenter during retract due to noise from the DC
motor seen on the presenter sensor.
