Firmware Emergency Recovery

The easiest method to recover the firmware in an Emergency Recovery routine is to either use the Local
Firmware Update Tool software by selecting the Independent File method, or using the Master Firmware
Flash Card method (2 Flash Cards required).
Whichever method you select, it is easier to restore the machine's firmware to the Standard (AAV) Type
first as it only requires 2 files to bring the machine to initial working condition. (Install the files in this
order: SC and SPC).
After recovering, if optional PCL or PS/PCL firmware is required, use the Network Firmware Update Tool
or the Local Firmware Update Tool to update the firmware to the required level.
If the unit does not boot up properly, follow the steps below:
1. Turn the power Off (use the power switch on the right side of the unit).
- Before proceeding to the next step, you must prepare either the Local Firmware Update Tool or
create the Master Firmware Flash Cards (read the appropriate sections first).
- If using the Master Firmware Card, insert the Master Firmware Flash Cards in the unit.
2. Turn the power On while holding the "ENERGY SAVER" key.
3. When the green lamp on the front panel turns On, release the "ENERGY SAVER" key.
- If using the Master Firmware Card, the unit will start updating the Firmware code files
automatically.
The unit is now ready to accept the firmware code from the USB Port or Master Firmware Card.
Repeat the above steps if there are additional firmware code files to be updated.
