3) Preparing the Main Unit for the Firmware Upgrade

Important: DO NOT connect the USB Cable yet.
Print the F5/F6 Parameters List (Copier Service Mode F9-03-00).
Enter into Test Mode F9-07-01 to enable the unit to accept the programming code from the USB Port.
If the unit does not boot up, follow the procedure below:

a. Turn the power Off (use the power switch on the back of the unit, not the side of the unit.).
b. Turn the power On while holding the [ENERGY SAVER] button.

c. When the unit's front panel green lamp (DATA lamp) turns On, release the [ENERGY SAVER] 

button, it is now ready to accept the firmware code from the USB Port.

4) Upgrading the Main Unit's Firmware Code

Start the Local Firmware Update Tool and select the following Firmware Code Parent File Folder in 
the C:\Panasonic\Panasonic-FUP\Data folder, and select the Firmware Code Type then follow the 
display instructions to upgrade the Main Unit's Firmware Codes. 
You must process each firmware file separately in this manner and sequence.

1. While updating the firmware code, the display may become garbled, however, it will return to 

normal upon completion of the firmware update.

2. Please refer to the Firmware Update Tool OI for additional details.
3. The suffix "_xx" for the Folder Name or File Name may not exist depending on the destination 

location.

Repeat the above steps if there are additional firmware code files to be updated for DP-2310/3010 
only.

5) After the Firmware Update is completed, enter the F5 & F6 Parameters according to the lists printed in 

step (3) above.

After the Hard Disc Drive Unit is installed, to prevent a Disc Scan Function from being performed (similar 
to Windows OS when the power is abruptly interrupted), it is important to follow the step sequence below 
when turing OFF the Power Switches on the machine.

1. Turn the Power Switch on the left side of the machine to the OFF position first.
2. Wait approximately 10 seconds while the machine writes the closing status onto the Hard Disc Drive 

Unit.

3. Turn the Main Power Switch on the back of the machine to the OFF position.

The easiest method to recover the firmware in an Emergency Recovery routine is to either use the Local 
Firmware Update Tool software by selecting the Independent File method, or using the Master Firmware 
Flash Card method (3 Flash Cards required).

Whichever method you select, it is easier to restore the machine's firmware to the Standard (AAV) Type 
first as it only requires 3 files to bring the machine to initial working condition. (Install the files in this 
order: SC, SPC and PNL).

After recovering, if optional PCL or PS/PCL firmware is required, use the Network Firmware Update Tool 
or the Local Firmware Update Tool to update the firmware to the required level.

If the unit does not boot up properly, follow the steps below:

1. Turn the power Off (use the power switch on the back of the unit, not the side of the unit).

- Before proceeding to the next step, you must prepare either the Local Firmware Update Tool or 

create the Master Firmware Flash Cards (read the appropriate sections first).

- If using the Master Firmware Card, insert the Master Firmware Flash Cards in the unit.

2. Turn the power On while holding the [ENERGY SAVER] button.
3. When the green lamp on the front panel turns On, release the [ENERGY SAVER] button.

- If using the Master Firmware Card, the unit will start updating the Firmware code files 

automatically.

The unit is now ready to accept the firmware code from the USB Port or Master Firmware Card.
Repeat the above steps if there are additional firmware code files to be updated.
