Caution

• Do not turn off the machine until the update completion message appears on the machine’s control panel. Otherwise, the controller board will be damaged.
• If the update completion message does not appear, the download failed. Try again. You can also switch from an Ethernet connection to a USB connection and see if that works. If you still cannot download the firmware, it may be necessary to change the EGB and/or the controller board.
• If power failed during the download, try again. If you still cannot download the firmware, it may be necessary to change the EGB and/or the controller board.
