• Keep SD cards in a safe location where they are not exposed to high temperature, high humidity,
or exposure to direct sunlight.
• Always handle SD cards with care. Do not bend or scratch them. Do not let the SD card get
exposed to shock or vibration.
• Make sure that the write protection of an SD card is unlocked when you download an application
to it. If not, downloading fails and a download error (e.g. Error Code 44) occurs during a firmware
upgrade.
Keep the following points in mind when you use the firmware update software:
• "Upload" means to send data from the machine to the SD card. "Download" means to send data
from the SD card to the machine.
• To select an item on the LCD, touch the appropriate button on the soft touch-screen of the LCD, or,
press the appropriate number key on the 10-key pad of the operation panel. For example, when
"Exit (0)" shows on the screen you can touch the Exit button on the screen, or, press the
5 on the operation panel of the copier.
• Make sure that the machine is disconnected from the network to prevent a print job for arriving
while the firmware update is in progress before you start the firmware update procedure.
