What program do I need to change the boot screen and to upload new fonts?
Thanks.

What type of unit do you have...Is it the MX series...? The only reason I ask is because you can't "upload a new font" to this character display... 8)

Please refer to this link and use the appropriate software to change the start up screen. Be advised that this software will not allow you to have custom characters on start up...
