1 Upgrading

1.1 Outline

The machine or its accessory is upgraded by downloading firmware from a PC or by re-
placing the ROM DIMM.
The firmware that may be upgraded is either of the following 3 types:
• System software (machine; ROM DIMM on image processor PCB)
• G3 multiport firmware (accessory; ROM DIMM on G3 multiport PCB)
• Finisher-L1 (accessory; ROM DIMM on finisher controller PCB)
Downloading of the system software and the G3 multiport firmware are done by way of
the USB port of the image processor PCB.
The ROM DIMM is made available as a service part, and upgrading may take place by
replacing the ROM DIMM.
Downloading of the Finisher-L1 is done by connecting a PC to the finisher controller
PCB by way of downloader PCB.
The ROM is built into the CPU, which is directly soldered to the finisher controller, and
cannot be replaced in the filed.
