Downloading new firmware
Introduction
Like a computer, your scanner needs an operating system in order to work. This operating
system is called "Firmware". Firmware runs inside the scanner and links its processors
with the PC applications running the scanner.
When do I need new firmware?
Your scanner is shipped with the latest firmware available. You can afterwards upgrade
your original firmware with newer firmware and continue to do so as they are released.
Firmware upgrades can be downloaded from Océ's website (See www.oce.com).
Upgrade your firmware when:
1. One or more new features are released or other improvements are made to the scanner
though its firmware.
2. An error is discovered in the firmware version you have in the scanner and Océ recom-
mends installation of new firmware in which the error is corrected.
NOTE: Your manufacture's website specifies improvements with every new firmware
release.
How to identify the firmware version running in the scanner?
1. Start Océ Scanner Agent -Left-click on the system tray's scanner icon.
1.
2. Select the Info tab.
3. The Info tab displays useful data about your scanner firmware.

5. Firmware download time - The date/time the current firmware was downloaded.

firmware version number on your manufacture's website.
