Integrates all printer models into single release. > New motor control software. > Paper out sensor support on FlexJets. > Spitting Ink in CAPPED position is disabled. > Imporved dancer bar sensing while pulling paper. > Fixed syntax error on UR command. > Smoother motion while printing. > Modifed service station controls to ramp velocity if it blocked. > Quieted service station motor motion. > First release of FJEX. > Improve DD output for limit checking. Version 371.0 11/17/2005 > Improved variable checking for all hardware models. > Improed bootloader system to check version. > Added debug features to track EEPROM status. > Flexjet and the FJ8 use separate motor controls to compensation for slight differences in motor performance. Version 387.1 11/17/2005 > First relase with support for StudioJet. > Improved keypad movement for smoother operation. > Improved sensor operation across models. Version 391.0. 2/21/2006 > Improved service station wipe movement for the StudioJet. Version 404.0 7/25/2006 > Added new motion control constants for smoother motor movement. Version 433.2 10/5/2006 > Added support for multi-head FJ8 > Added dynamic width measurement. > Direct plotting from Gerber systems added. > Paper out sensor adjusted for the Flexjet system to not trigger on RED light mode and no rasters. > Print area width (Y) increased. Version 436.0 11/27/2006 > Increased delay of Paper Out sensing on the FJ8 and FJ06. Version 496.0 3/27/2007 > Improved communications with Gerber systems. > Reduced motor "hum" on StudioJet, FJ8 and FJEX > Improved paper out sensor accuracy. > Improved DMPL frame advance. > New version of End of Plot (EOP) routine to reduce missing last scan. EOP reply msg eliminated. > Improved switch between HPGL and DMPL interpreters. > Improved legacy support for the FlexJet cover sensor integration with Control Center. > Further tuned service station spitting. > Added paper management to reduce bubbles. > Reduced extra passes when executing Ioline syntax. > Increased print width on FJ06 and overall print head alignment. > Improved communications and buffer handling. > DMPL page advance modified to allow variable window size. > Improved clipping calculations. Version 512.0 5/18/2007 > Refined new clipping routine (from 496.0) > Resolved bug with HPGL label terminators to keep them from printing. > The max-idle timeout varied for different baud rates. > Fixed how the angle of each character label and the angle of the entire label is determined. > StudioJet now dynamically calculates machine width. > Set Origin position is saved/restored after power cycle so printing restarts from last user set position. > QA command added to display accumulated printed inches. Version 521.3 8/9/2007 > Line types improved so adaptive styles work. Pattern length not accurate yet. > Restored '@' symbol to close buffers. Improved Gerber buffer close routine. > Fixed premature XOFF buffer closure. > Fixed syntax error after leaving the Ioline interpreter. > Improved stability of values stored in EEPROM. > Limit the label angle for labels greater than 5 degrees. Version 526.0 11/7/2007 > Improved purging last print pass at EOP. > Removed '@' from sending an end of plot within hp interpreter. > Furhter improved adaptive line types. > Made automatic buffer closure default off. > Made X motor controls more robust. Version 526.2 11/12/2007 > Improved service station adjustment for the FJ8. Version 665.0 1/20/2008 > First firmware release for FJE. > Added third required parameter for line types and adaptive types was corrected. > Acceleration is dynamically adjustable through syntax. > Power on motor movement was adjusted for smoother startup. > Acceleration resolution is now in 100's of a g. > Service station spit amount increased. > All machines only pause on the right side of the machine and spit after pause is pressed. > Improved manual keypad motion for a smoother movement and removed jump near ends. > Shorten timeout for service stations and changed speed on return to service station. Version 673.0 2/19/2008 > Improved printing reliability to reduce rare missing scan. > Burn in motion control improved. Version 682.1 2/26/2008 > Removed motion control changes due to increased motor 'hum'. > Double spit bug unresolved. Version 683.0 3/18/2008 > Further improved printing routines for reliability. > Fixed full width printing on FJe. Version 701.0 7/1/2008 > Combined release for all models to unify firmware status. > Modified motor controls for easier debug. > Modified Burn In for user control of motor selection. > Released updates for max printing width. > Tuned service station locations to ensure proper spitting and capping (where required). > Model number for FJ06 and FJ8 made common for FJ Control Center compatibility. Version 730.0 6/14/2010 > Added Label Wrap feature that re-prints label residue that crosses frame boundaries. > Implemented HPGL Plot size, PS command. > Fixed bug that non-solid line over 46" did not print. Version 737.0 12/6/2010 > Several misc small bug fixes. > Add support for 4 pens to latest logic board. > Changes to better support PAD software. > Discontinue spiiting in caps for all models. > Corrected bug with font size, when printing labels that extend beyond the frame boundaries. Version 740.0 1/24/2011 > Reverted to initializing frame size for DMPL plots, which was changed for PAD software, but which causes other issues with other DMPL files. > Fixed service station positioning for cartridge change. > Fixed missed start-of-scan for various models. > Changed Auto Roll Out to stop with any key instead of just bottom 3 keys, as user improvement. > Fixed Roll Up function which would intermittently go into RollUp mode. Changed RollUp mode to manual operation requiring user to press and hold key combination.
