Downloads The Latest Package; Judgement Of Arfu - Ricoh MP C2504 Field Service Manual

Firmware Update (Auto Remote Firmware Update)

Downloads the latest package

The machine checks the server for the latest package version.
If the version of the package on the global server is later than that of the package installed on the
machine, or if the machine has not downloaded the firmware package, the machine downloads the
latest package in the background even when the customer is using the machine.
If download fails, the machine will retry downloading 76 hours later.
The downloaded package can also be used with SFU (Smart Firmware Update). A package
downloaded with SFU (Smart Firmware Update) can be used with ARFU (Auto Remote Firmware
Update) and vice versa.
When replacing the hard disk, the firmware package data becomes lost from the hard disk. Even if the
latest firmware is on the new hard disk, be sure to receive the latest package data.
When the machine connects to the server where the package files are stored, the DNS settings and the
name solution by DNS are needed. The machine will still try to download the package even if the name
cannot be resolved, but will fail as the name is not resolved.
The time and date to send the next inquiry to the global server can be checked with SP5-886-116 (Farm
Update Setting: Auto Update Next Date).
The auto remote firmware update is executed every 76 hours.

Judgement of ARFU

Update judgement is done when the latest update package is successfully downloaded, or the package
has already been downloaded.
If the judgement timing is in the range of the update prohibited time or day set with SP or WIM, the
machine will retry the update after 76 hours.
