Firmware Update

Before You Begin...

Always obey these rules when handling and using SD cards:
• Never connect or remove an SD card with the machine on.
• Never turn the power off while the machine is downloading data from an SD card.
• The SD card is a precision item. Use it carefully. Do not keep the card in a location where there is high
temperature, high humidity, or light from the sun.

• Handle SD cards carefully to avoid bending, scratching, or dropping them.
• If a power failure occurs during the firmware update, turn the machine power off/on without removing
the SD card. The firmware update procedure should start again.

Firmware Update Procedure

1. Obtain the System SD card.
2. Disconnect the network cable and other interface cables. This prevents outside interference caused
by data transfers to the machine while the software is being uploaded.
3. Turn the main switch off.
4. Remove the SD card slot cover ( x1).
5. Remove the VM card from the lower slot.
• Before removing the VM card from Slot 1 (lower slot) you must shut down the App2 Me
application (and all other VM card applications) if it is running. See p.305 "Before Removing
and Re-installing the VM Card".
6. Insert the SD card into Slot 1 (lower slot).
7. Open the front door of the machine. This prevents generation of electrical noise from motors during
the update procedure.
8. Switch the machine on.
You will see "Please Wait" then "Preparing to start firmware update."
The first screen appears after about 60 to 90 sec.
