Xerox Phaser 6200 Maintenance Firmware Release 

Installation Instructions 

October 3, 2002 

 

In May 2002, the Xerox Office Printing Business introduced the award-winning 
Phaser 6200 Color Laser Printer. Combining high performance, superior print quality, 
and unprecedented ease-of-use, the Phaser 6200 printer offers the best value available for 
letter-sized color laser printers. 

In keeping with Xerox’ total commitment to quality, Xerox is pleased to offer 
Phaser 6200 customers this maintenance release of printing software. This new software 
improves printer usability and reliability by addressing problems that were discovered 
after the initial introduction of the product. Xerox is confident that this software will 
further improve your printing experience. 

This document describes the steps necessary to upgrade a Phaser 6200 printer from the 
original firmware release to the new version using the flash update program file. 

Printers manufactured after October 2002 were shipped with the new firmware pre-
installed, and do not require this maintenance release. 

The maintenance release software is available to download at no charge from the Internet 
at: 

http://officeprinting.opbu.xerox.com/cgi-bin/formeng.pl?form=6200printer_firmwareupdate 

 

A two CD-ROM set containing the new printer driver and utilities and the printer 
firmware flash update PostScript file may be ordered by calling 1-800-835-6100.  

See the “Technical Change Notes for the Xerox Phaser 6200 Maintenance Firmware 
Release” document that is included in the maintenance release package for a detailed list 
of changes from the original printer firmware to the new version.
