General; Supporting Os; Supporting Panasonic Fax/Copier Models - Panasonic DP-1820P Service Manual

1. General

The Local Firmware Update Tool (Parallel/USB) allows a Panasonic Fax/Copy machine to emulate a Flash
Memory Card Writer and create a Master Firmware Card, or to program the Firmware Code Memory of the Unit
directly. Using a PC, the firmware code is transferred to the Flash Memory Card or the Firmware Code Memory of
the Unit through the Parallel/USB Port on the Panasonic Fax/Copy machine. The installation and operation are
very similar to the Printer Interface.

1.1 Supporting OS

This application software operation has been confirmed under the following OS
• Windows 98 / Me
•
Windows NT 4.0 (Parallel Port only)
