Overview

In order to update the firmware of this machine, download the latest firmware file from Ricoh's website and save it on an SD card.

Insert the card in the SD card slot on the MPU (PCB7).

Before Beginning

An SD card is a fragile device. When handling SD cards, always observe the following precautions:

• Before inserting an SD card, always switch the machine off. Never insert an SD card into a slot when the power is on.
• Do not remove an SD card from a service slot after the power has been switched on.
• Never switch the machine off while firmware is downloading from an SD card.
• Keep SD cards in a safe location where they are not exposed to high temperature, high humidity, or exposure to direct sunlight.
• Always handle SD cards with care. Do not bend or scratch them. Do not expose an SD card to shock or vibration.

Updating Firmware

Preparation

1. Confirm the SD Card is using FAT or FAT32 filesystem if not, please reformat and change the filesystem to FAT or FAT32
2. Create a folder named “d0b2” on the card.
3. Copy the “d0b2*****.brn” file to “d0b2” folder on SD card.
   Note:
   • Do not put multiple firmware files on the same SD card. Copy only the firmware you will be using to update the machine.
