Updating Firmware; Before You Begin; Verifying The Latest Version Of Firmware - Xerox ColorQube 8580 System Administrator Manual

Updating Firmware

You can update your printer when Xerox releases a new version of printer software or firmware.
CAUTION:
• Do not interrupt the firmware installation process. Interruptions or loss of power can corrupt the
firmware and render the system temporarily unusable.
• Do not submit a print job to the device while upgrading firmware. If you interrupt a firmware
upgrade, it can cause corruption to the printer firmware that can require a service call.
Notes:
• Firmware updates can change some printer factory settings. Xerox recommends that you print the
Configuration Page as a reference to restore printer settings as needed after the firmware update
completes.
• If you set the PostScript and PJL Configuration password, the printer prompts you to log in. For
details, see Administrative Security Settings
