Flashing Methods​

Power-off operation

Before connecting or reconnecting the USB cable, completely turn off the printer and disconnect all other power supplies. Do not let the tool board be powered simultaneously through the printer power supply and the USB interface.

USB connection compatibility

The USB interfaces on some computers may cause unstable flashing due to driver or signal compatibility issues. If the connection fails, try using a different USB interface on the computer or use a reliable-quality USB dock; when the error shown below appears, also check the USB connection and driver first.
