Updating the Firmware

5.12 UPDATING THE FIRMWARE
To update the firmware for this machine, you must have the new version of the firmware
downloaded onto an SD (Secure Digital) Card. The SD Card is inserted into SD Card Slot 2
(Lower Slot) on the controller box.

5.12.1 BEFORE YOU BEGIN

An SD card is a precision device. Always observe the following precautions when you handle
SD cards:

Always switch the machine off before you insert an SD card. Never insert the SD card into
the slot with the power on.

Do not remove the SD card from the service slot after the power has been switched on.

Never switch the machine off while the firmware is downloading from the SD card.

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 "0" button 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.
