firmware on a machine with a normal operation panel (and vice-versa). If you do, the

"ROM" are the same on the following screen:

If the wrong firmware is installed, repeat the update procedure and check the numbers
mentioned above.
Overview, background

For MFP's that have the Smart Panel installed, all firmware installed on the machine from
that point onward should be Smart Panel supported firmware. Similarly, normal firmware
should only be installed on machines with the normal operation panel.

firmware onto a machine with a normal operation panel). There are no alert messages or
protections to prevent this.
