Uploading Content of NVRAM to an SD card

Follow this procedure to upload SP code settings from NVRAM to an SD card.

Note:
• This data should always be uploaded to an SD card before the NVRAM is replaced.

1. Before switching the machine off, execute SP 5990-1 (SMC Print). You will need a record of the NVRAM settings if the upload fails.
2. Turn off the main power of the copier.
3. Remove the slot cover 3 (uppermost one)
4. Insert the SD card into the service slot 3 (uppermost one), then turn on the main power of the copier.
5. Execute SP 5824-1 (NVRAM Data Upload) then press the “Execute” key.
   • When uploading is finished, a file is coped to an NVRAM folder on the SD card. The file is saved to the path and filename:
   NVRAM\<serial number>.NV
   Here is an example with Serial Number "B0700017": NVRAM\B0700017.NV
6. In order to prevent an error during the download, be sure to mark the SD card that holds the uploaded (saved) data with the number of the machine from which the data was uploaded (saved).
   • NVRAM data from more than one machine can be uploaded (saved) to the same SD card.
7. Turn off the main power, and then remove the SD card from the slot 3 (the uppermost one).
8. Reassemble the machine.

Downloading an SD Card to NVRAM

Follow this procedure to download (save) SP data from an SD card to the NVRAM in the machine.

• If the SD card with the NVRAM data is damaged, or if the connection between the controller and BICU is defective, the NVRAM data download may fail.
• If the download fails, repeat the download procedure.
• If the second attempt fails, enter the NVRAM data manually using the SMC print you created before uploading the NVRAM data.

1. Turn off the main power of the copier.
2. Remove the slot cover 3 (the uppermost one)
3. Insert the SD card with the NVRAM data into the service slot 3 (the uppermost one).
4. Turn on the main power of the copier.
5. Execute SP 5825-1 (NVRAM Data Download) and press the "Execute" key.
6. Turn off the main power of the copier, and then remove the SD card from the slot 3 (the uppermost one).
7. Reassemble the machine.
   Note:
   • In order for the NVRAM data to download successfully, the serial number of the file on the SD card must match the serial number of the machine. If the serial numbers do not match, the download will fail

This procedure downloads (saves) the following data to the NVRAM:

• Total Count
• C/O, P/O Count
