Update by FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
(Diskettes not required for updates)
Signup for email notifications of the FTP Update Service. You will then be notified via email the moment the latest updates are ready for you to download.

Installing an update for your Barcode Tagger is easy. Just choose the FTP option on your tagger update menu screen. Diskettes are not necessary with the FTP Update Service. Diskettes will, of course, continue to be available.

NOTE: This feature is NOT available on the BT 610 machine.

Before you can do an FTP update, you will need to enable and create the network connectivity on your Tagger. The following is a one time procedure done prior to the first time you do an FTP update. These settings will remain in place for all subsequent FTP updates or until you re-set them. You may print out a detailed FTP Information Form here and keep it as a record of your settings.
