Load Update Programs/Data; If The Main Pcb Is Replaced With A New One - Brother DCPJ525W Service Manual

Load update programs/data

This procedure writes firmware to the main PCB or updates it.

2.1.1 If the main PCB is replaced with a new one

Load firmware using an SD memory card
(1) Turn the machine on to display " CheckerVer*.*x " (where *.*x denotes the version) on
the LCD.
(2) Insert an SD memory card into a PC holding a target firmware file (e.g., lz00001_a.pmu)
and copy the file into the SD memory card.
Note: Copy only a single firmware file into an SD memory card. Copying two or more files
may result in loading of an improper file.
Note: Always copy a firmware file designed for the corresponding model to an SD
memory card. No model identification is possible in loading firmware using an SD
memory card; therefore, the machine loads a copied file even if it is designed for any other
model.
Note: Be sure to use an SD card. Using any other memory card does not start loading.
(3) Insert the SD memory card into the memory card slot in the machine.
The LCD momentarily shows "Receiving: SDcard" and changes to "Updating: SDcard"
and firmware loading starts.
Upon completion of loading, the machine automatically reboots and switches to standby.
Load firmware using a PC
[ A ] .pjl firmware file
(1) Turn the machine on to display " CheckerVer*.*x " (where *.*x denotes the version) on
the LCD. With the version being displayed, connect the machine to your PC using a USB
cable.
The PC shows "Brother Maintenance USB Printer (Copy 1)" newly copied. (This does not
occur if it was copied.)
(2) On the PC, run "filedg32.exe."
The Filedrgs window appears.
(3) Drag and drop the target firmware (e.g., lz00001_a.pjl) onto the Brother Maintenance USB
Printer driver icon in the Filedrgs window.
Note: To use a firmware file, extract it beforehand by double-clicking. It is a self-extracting
file having the extension .exe.
After approx. 2 to 3 minutes, the loading operation is complete and the machine
automatically reboots and returns to standby.
(4) On the machine, display the version of the installed firmware on the LCD by pressing the *
and # keys simultaneously (for models with numerical keypad) or by pressing the
Stop/Exit keys simultaneously (for models without numerical keypad).
Sample version number shown on the LCD: 0A810060953:4B69
(The top line shows the version number.)
If the displayed version number is identical with the firmware version you installed, the
loading operation has been successfully finished.
