 About: Firmware
The version of the firmware in a scanner may change regularly for a number of reasons: to improve performance, to fix hardware bugs or improve compatibility, to add support for new components used in manufacturing or to add specialist functions.
The firmware contains the code and program used to run all of these low-level functions, controlling the scanner throughout its warm-up procedure, calibration, diagnosing faults, communicating with the driver and returning scanned images to the host computer.
The firmware is stored on either an EPROM or EEPROM chip, which has to be erased before reprogramming (using UV or the programmer respectively).
