Software Update Procedure

SD cards are used to update the software and to back up important data. Here is a list of the firmware modules that can be updated or restored from an SD card:

• GW controller software
• BCU software
• LCDC (operation panel) software
• Network Sys (network) software
• Web Sys (Web Image Monitor)
• Document Server software
• NFA (Net File) software
• Printer application software
• Scanner application software
• DESS (encryption module) software

Important

• Never connect or remove an SD card with the machine power turned on.
• Never turn the power off while the machine is downloading data from an SD card.
• Never store SD cards in a location where they are exposed to high temperature, high humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Never bend an SD card, scratch it, or expose it to strong vibration.
• Before uploading data to an SD card, always confirm that its write-protect switch is off.

Doing the Software Update Procedure

Before you do this procedure you must have the most recent version of the firmware downloaded to an SC card.

1. Turn the main switch off.
2. Remove the SD card slot cover.
3. Insert the SD card into SD card Slot 2. Make sure that the SD card has clicked and locked in place.
4. Turn the machine on.
5. The machine will prompt you "Please Wait" as the firmware update program boots. This requires about 35 sec.
6. Wait for the version update screen to appear. If the SD card contains more than one software application, the screen will be almost the same as the one below. The screen below shows that the SC card contains two applications: "Engine" and "Printer".
7. To select the item for upgrade, touch the selection on the touch panel, or push the corresponding key on the 10-key pad (1 to 5) of the operation panel. The number in parentheses tells you which key to push. When you make a selection, the [Verify(./*)] and [Update(#)] buttons come on the screen.
   • If you push [Exit] (or the [0] key), you go back to the usual operation screen.
   • Push the [Start] key on the operation panel to select and download all the options shown on the screen.
   • Push the [Clear] key on the operation panel if you want to cancel your selections and make new ones.
   • "ROM": This is the number and other version information of the ROM firmware installed in the machine at this time.
   • "NEW": This is the number and other version information of the firmware on the SD card.
8. With the selected items shown in reverse color, push the [Update] button or the [#] key on the operation panel to start the update. After you push [Update]:
   • The middle bar shows the name of the module that the machine updates at this time. (The example above shows that the machine updates the "Printer" module at this time.)
   • The bottom bar is a progress bar. The "_" marks in the progress bar are replaced by "*" marks. This progress bar cannot be displayed during the firmware update for the operation panel. But, the LED of the [Start] key on the operation panel changes from red to green to show that the update of the operation panel firmware continues.
   • When the update is completed, you will see this screen.
   After the firmware update, you will see "Update Done" in the first bar. The name of the module in the bottom bar is the name of the last module that was updated (only the name of the last module is shown, if several modules were been updated).
9. Turn the power off and on. Then, select the items that you updated, and then push the [Verify] button. This is to check that the modules were updated correctly.
10. If you see "Verify Error" in the first bar on the screen, then you must do the procedure again for the module shown in the bottom bar.
    • The "Verify" procedure is not necessary but it is strongly recommended.
11. After the firmware is correctly updated, turn the main power switch off.
12. Push the SD card in a small distance to release it, then pull it out of the slot.
13. Turn the main power switch on, and check that the machine operates correctly.
