NCR 7167, 7168, 7197, 7198, 7401-K590, 7342-F306, and 734X-F307 printers.
. These instructions

The following are the files, which comprise the utilities:
TseFlash.exe

File Configurations
There are several different kinds of firmware loads that can be sent to the printer:
1.
Boot Firmware
2.
Boot Firmware for Ethernet
3.
Main Firmware
4.
Single Byte Font
5.
Two Byte Receipt Font
6.
Two Byte Slip Font
The
Single Byte Font
file has a file extension of
.sfn
. It is the font used for OEM Codepages such as
437, 850, 858, etc. which require only a single byte of data to define the character to be printed. The
Two Byte Font
files (Separately Defined for Slip & Receipt) have a file extension .dfn. These are used
to define Code Pages 932 – Japanese, 936 – Simplified Chinese, 949 – Korean, 950 – Traditional
Chinese.
If is very rare for the Single Byte Font to have to be updated. Since there is only enough memory in
the printer for one of the Two Byte Fonts to be loaded at any time, the Two Byte Font will typically
need to be loaded prior to installation in the appropriate country.
The Font files both Single and Two byte should be loaded into the printer after the Boot and Main
firmware have been loaded.
