8 Firmware Upgrade

This section describes how to install firmware on supported devices. From a
master file, you can install firmware on a single device or groups of devices.
When upgrading multiple devices or a group, the process bypasses any devices
that do not match the models for the selected firmware. If there are no matching
devices that require a version upgrade, a message appears.
The firmware file is provided by an administrator or dealer. If the firmware file
version is older than the installed version on the device, then the firmware is
downgraded.
Before performing a firmware upgrade, ensure TCP ports 800-810 are available
and not blocked by a firewall.
Note: If local authentication is on, an administrator must type a login user
name and password in Device > Communication Settings > Login. For some
models, logging in with a user name and password is not supported. You must
enter the administrator password in the communication settings before you
perform a firmware upgrade. All settings and passwords for the source and
destination devices must be correct in Communication Settings for a
successful Firmware Upgrade completion.
The Start of Job String must be blank for the logical printer used. You can
check or modify this setting on the print device's home page.
Using this wizard poses a risk of damaging the device. When preparing to
upgrade firmware, remember to review the process with your administrator or
dealer and establish contingency plans. The wizard requires that you
acknowledge and accept the potential risk of firmware installation.
Warning: If a device is turned off or loses power at a critical point during the
upgrade, the device could become inoperable and require servicing to replace
damaged components.
You can use the wizard to install firmware on devices. If the firmware file version
is older than the installed version on the device, then the firmware is
downgraded. A maximum of five devices can be processed at a time.
In any Device view, select one or more devices.
In the Device menu, click Advanced > Upgrade firmware.
On the Warning page, select the check box to acknowledge and accept risk.
Click Next.
