README 1st for DNP RX1HS Printer Firmware v2.07 Update Utility for Windows General Information: This firmware update utility will install v2.07 firmware onto the RX1 or RX1HS photo printer. Installing this firmware may add functionality or modify printer behavior for improved functionality. Installing the most current firmware version will include all improvements of the previous firmware updates. Installing each of the incremental updates are not necessary. This standalone utility does not require the RX1 printer driver to be installed to operate the firmware update on the PC. NOTE: Some improvements of the firmware will require the printer driver or utility to also be updated to access the new feature or functionality; e.g. square cut print. The RX1HS v2.07 update utility supports Windows 7/8/10. Please use the appropriate version of the update utility in this package for your Windows PC, either 32 bit OS or 64 bit OS. The files are clearly named for the OS type; ...RX1_207x32... or ...RX1_207x64... Using the incorrect update will result in an error.
