Package Firmware Update; Overview - Ricoh M0A0 Service Manual

Package Firmware Update


The 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.
