<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate the operation of reading firmware updated data using the reading function of a bar code scanner, thereby enabling updating of the firmware, in a short time. <P>SOLUTION: When determining that a bar code read by a bar code reading unit 31 is for a firmware update process, a read data checking unit 33 causes an operational mode transfer unit 34 to change the operational mode to a firmware update mode; and when the version number of the firmware to be updated is determined to be different from the one stored in a firmware storage unit 37, the checking unit causes the operational mode transfer unit 34 to change a scanning pattern to a single scanning pattern, thereby enabling a plurality of bar codes printed on one sheet of paper to be read successively. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
