Chapter 6 — <strong>Hacking</strong> the Firmware While this software does what it says it does, it can be a little quirky at times and your initial efforts may not work. If this is the case, revert to the original firmware and try again. One possible quirk you might come across is that the preview screen displays the text upside down and left to right.

Extract the contents of the file to a convenient folder on your PC. The contents of the file are shown in Figure 6-12. 135
