Firmware Update (Smart Firmware Update)

• A HDD unit must be installed on the machine to enable the SFU or the package firmware update
via SD card.

Overview

Each firmware module (such as System/Copy, Engine, etc.) used to be updated individually. However,
an all-inclusive firmware package (package_ALL) is now available.
There are two ways to update using the firmware package.

• Package firmware update via a network: SFU (Smart Firmware Update)

• Package firmware update with an SD card
Package firmware update via a network: SFU (Smart Firmware Update)
• There are two methods for SFU.
• Immediate Update: To update the firmware when visiting
• Update at the next visit: To set the date and time for downloading. The firmware will be
automatically downloaded beforehand and updated at the following visit.
• "Update at the next visit" is recommended since firmware download may take some minutes
due to the network condition.
• SFU requires the connection to @Remote via a device which has the embedded @Remote
communicating function. When a machine is connected to @Remote via an intermediate
device (RC Gate), the SFU function is disabled.

Package firmware update via an SD card

Package firmware update can also be performed using the conventional SD card method by
writing the package firmware directly to the SD card.
