either a Config Report (Config->Printer->Report->Configs) or a
Help Menu. |
|
Solution/Action:
The version of firmware
installed on a Tally line printer can be identified by printing
either a Config Report (Config->Printer->Report->Configs) or a
Help Menu. In the header of that report/menu, the "Main CPU
Software" number contains a string of 9 to 12 characters; this
is the firmware version code. Following that, the "PN" or Part
Number contains the Tally firmware part-number identifier. All
production-level firmware releases contain a valid 6-digit part
number; interim and special releases almost always have a blank
part number, "000000".
Here's a key to decoding the
Firmware Version codes.
Main CPU Software:
XXXYYYZ.ZZ where XXX=interface, YYY=model,
Z.ZZ=release version
Examples:
PSITGP9.3C = Par/Ser
T6100 v9.3C production release
IPD 215 2.2D = IPDS T6215
v2.2D production release
TWPLGP9.3.10 = PSIO
FourPlex T6050-136, v9.3.10 special release
PLJ 218 2.2.52 = LJ
Series T6218, v2.2.52 special release
Valid
T60xx interface codes
are:
PSI = Std Parallel/Serial
interface
LAN = PSIO LANPlex-3
TWI = FourPlex
IPD = FourPlex IPDS
IPE = PSIO LanPlex IPDS
TWP = PSIO FourPlex
IPP = PSIO FourPlex IPDS
PLJ = Std Par/Ser LJ
Series
ILJ = PSIO LANPlex-3 LJ
Series
KOI = Asian "K" model
614 = T6140 model
Valid
T62xx interface codes
are:
PSI = Std
Parallel/Serial/PSIO interface (supports LANPlex and
FourPlex PSIO's)
IPD = IPDS option
PLJ = LJ Series option
KOI = Asian "K" model
Valid
T60xx model codes
are:
HGP = T6045
JGP = T6050
LGP = T6050-136
NGP = T6180
RGP = T6065
SGP = T6090
TGP = T6100
BGP = T6140
MKT = T6092K, Traditional
Chinese
MKS = T6092K, Simplified
Chinese
MKK = T6092K, Korean
Valid
T62xx model codes
are:
212 = T6212
215 = T6215
218 = T6218
EKT = T6215K, Traditional
Chinese
EKS = T6215K, Simplified
Chinese
EKK = T6215K, Korean
Release version numbers
follow the format {rel}.{rev}[.mod][patch],
which is a series of numbers separated by periods. Production
releases only require the first two numbers; bug-fix and special
releases contain the 3rd and 4th numbers also. The numbers are
incremented at each release, according to the following rules:
{rel} is the release
level, incremented upon major changes in functionality
{rev} is the revision
level, incremented upon minor changes in functionality
[mod] is the modification
level, incremented at each bug-fix or special release
[patch] is a single
character, indicating either a patch to a production-level
release, or a special customer version.
