There are three types of firmware: Main, ADF and controller (FV-Lt). 6.1.1 TYPE OF FIRMWARE There are two types of main firmware. One type is for A3 models, and the other is for B4 models. Download the firmware that corresponds to the model you are using.
Firmware Update 6.1.2 BEFORE YOU BEGIN An SD card is a precision device. Always observe the following precautions when you handle SD cards: Always switch the machine off before you insert an SD card. Never insert the SD card into the ...
Firmware Update 6.1.3 PREPARING TO DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE Create a folder named “romdata” on the SD card (this step is only necessary when the SD card is used for the first time). Create one of the following folders inside the “romdata” folder. Make sure to create the correct folder for the model you are using.

Firmware Update ***: Part number X: suffix #: version No. Wait until the data is transferred completely. Do not remove the SD card from the PC until after all data is transferred (at this time, the PC says that it is safe to remove the card). Compare the size of the file on the PC and the file on the SD card.
Firmware Update 6.1.4 DOWNLOAD MAIN/ADF FIRMWARE Updates the main firmware using an SD card. Before downloading new firmware, check the firmware version number(Main) with SP1-70 or file suffix number (ADF) with SP 1-78 ( Appendices - Main SP Tables). Prepare an SD card with the latest firmware. Turn off the main switch and disconnect the power cord.

Energy Save 7. ENERGY SAVING 7.1 ENERGY SAVE 7.1.1 ENERGY SAVE Customers should use energy saver modes properly, to save energy and protect the environment. The area shaded grey in this diagram represents the amount of energy that is saved when the timers are at the default settings.
Energy Save Recommendation We recommend that the default settings should be kept. If the customer requests that these settings should be changed, please explain that their energy costs could increase, and that they should consider the effects on the environment of extra energy use.
Paper Save 7.2 PAPER SAVE 7.2.1 EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COMBINE FUNCTION The combine function reduces the amount of paper used. This means that less energy overall is used for paper production, which improves the environment. Combine mode Reduce paper volume in half! Recommendation Please explain the above features to the customers, so that they can reduce their paper usage.
