Important:

• Only the USB device which meets the following conditions should be used for updating. Be careful since updating with any device other than the above is never guaranteed.
  - A USB device which complies with the following standards regulated by USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum)
  Class number: 8 (=08h) (Mass-storage class) Sub-class number: 6 (=06h) (SCSI transfer command set)
  Protocol number: 80 (=50h) (Bulk-Only)
  * Most common USB devices are complied with the specification above and can be used for updating. However, the operation in all the Multi Functional Digital Systems is not necessarily guaranteed since the most of these devices are developed based on the use in PC environment (Windows or Macintosh). Therefore, confirm thoroughly that the device is operational in the equipment for which the updating will be performed when purchasing the device.
• The data file for updating is stored in the model specific folder. Never change the model specific folder name since it is used for discriminating the data file when the updating data files for multiple models are stored in the USB device.
• Store the model specific folder in the root directory of the USB device.
• The USB device complied with USB1.1 and USB2.0 can be used for updating. However, the update is performed in the speed of USB1.1 when the device complied with USB2.0 is used.
• Do not update the firmware by any storage device other than a flash memory (such as a USB connection type memory card reader, CD/DVD drive or hard disk) since it is never guaranteed.

System/Engine/FAX ROM update procedure

Important:

• The file system of the USB device should be formatted in FAT32,16. Note that one formatted in FAT or NTFS will not be operated. The file system can be confirmed on the properties in applications such as Explorer of Windows.
• Do not turn OFF the power during the update. The data could be damaged and not able to be operated properly.
• Since the fax ROM is included in the system ROM, there is no fax specific firmware or data file.

1. Connect the USB device to a PC and write the model specific folder in which the data file is stored.
• Confirm the model specific folder name and data file name before writing the data.

2. Turn OFF the power of the equipment.

3. Connect the USB device to the USB port.

4. Turn the power ON while pressing the [4] and [9] buttons simultaneously.

5. Enter the password, and then press the [OK] button. (If the Enter Password is blank, this step is unnecessary.)

6. Select “SYSTEM FW, ENGINE FW or ALL”, and then press the [OK] button. Update starts. This will change to “COMPLETED” when the update is completed.

Notes:

• When “ALL” is selected, updating is carried out in order of SYSTEM and ENGINE. When the update is completed appropriately, “ALL COMPLETED” is displayed.
• Do not turn the power OFF before “ALL COMPLETED” is displayed.

Notes:

• The firmware update operation cannot be canceled when it is in progress.
• Do not perform any other operations while the firmware is being updated.
• If the USB device is not recognized normally, “USB NOT DETECTED” will be displayed. In this case, turn OFF the power of the equipment, reconnect the USB device properly, and then restart the

Remarks:

It takes approx. 4 minutes to complete updating all items (“SYSTEM FW / ENGINE FW / ALL”). Update time varies approx. ±30% depending on the rotation speed of the USB device and the status of the Flash ROM in the equipment.

7. Turn OFF the power and remove the USB device.
