Xerox Phaser 6200 Maintenance Firmware Release
Installation Instructions
October 3, 2002
In May 2002, the Xerox Office Printing Business introduced the award-winning
Phaser 6200 Color Laser Printer. Combining high performance, superior print quality,
and unprecedented ease-of-use, the Phaser 6200 printer offers the best value available for
letter-sized color laser printers.
In keeping with Xerox' total commitment to quality, Xerox is pleased to offer
Phaser 6200 customers this maintenance release of printing software. This new software
improves printer usability and reliability by addressing problems that were discovered
after the initial introduction of the product. Xerox is confident that this software will
further improve your printing experience.
This document describes the steps necessary to upgrade a Phaser 6200 printer from the
original firmware release to the new version using the flash update program file.
Printers manufactured after October 2002 were shipped with the new firmware pre-
installed, and do not require this maintenance release.
The maintenance release software is available to download at no charge from the Internet
at:
http://officeprinting.opbu.xerox.com/cgi-bin/formeng.pl?form=6200printer_firmwareupdate
A two CD-ROM set containing the new printer driver and utilities and the printer
firmware flash update PostScript file may be ordered by calling 1-800-835-6100.
See the "Technical Change Notes for the Xerox Phaser 6200 Maintenance Firmware
Release" document that is included in the maintenance release package for a detailed list
of changes from the original printer firmware to the new version.
