1600/2000/2500 UPDATING THE FIRMWARE
5. UPDATING THE FIRMWARE
5.1 Outline
When you want to use the latest version of the firmware, or when the firmware is damaged and the copier
is inoperable, the following procedure is used to update the firmware.
The firmware contains two types of data: Main Data (program data/function data/language data) stored in
the flash ROM on the main PWA, and Scanner Data stored in the flash ROM on the scanner control PWA.
The updating procedures vary with the data types. For details, refer to each procedure.
Important:
•
Before updating, be sure to print “FUNCTION LIST.” In case the updating fails for some
reason disabling this machine from operating, set the functions by checking with this list
and then restore the machine.
•
If updating is performed with the FAX kit (GD-1060-NA/TW/AU/EU) installed, the commu-
nication journal data, communication error history data, communication protocol data,
and job data will be erased. Before updating, check that there is no job data and print
each list of communication journal data, communication error history data, and communi-
cation protocol data if necessary.
Downloading data from the recovery PWA.
Refer to 5.2 Using the recovery PWA (on page 5-2).
Using the batch file of the MS-DOS, downloading data from the PC.
