In the following cases, the program in the printer control PWB flash
memory must be rewritten.

1) When a bug or other error is found

2) Data stored in the flash memory is destroyed or deleted.

3) When the flash memory is replaced.

1) Computer (PC) <Operates on MS-DOS.>

2) Parallel cable

3) Program data file (xxx.BIN)

1) Print the configuration list to check the firmware version.

Use the operation panel of the copier to perform the following
procedure.
ONLINE <off line> 

→

 MENU <Test Printing Menu> 

→

 ITEM <Con-

figuration Page> 

→

 ENTER <The test page prints>

2) Connect the PC and the copier with the parallel cable.

3) Turn on the power

4) Execute SIM 67-14.

“Erase Flash Data?” is displayed on the LCD.

5) Press the ENTER key on the copier’s operation panel.

“Now Erasing” is displayed on the LCD.

6) After deletion of data, “Please Send Data” is displayed on the LCD

and the machine enters the ready state for data input.

7) Download the program file.

(Note) Never turn off the power during download.

Set the PC to DOS mode 

→

 Check that the display shows

READY. 

→

 Then type  COPY  /B  xxx.BIN  LPT1:

and press the enter key.
( : 

space)

8) The machine enters the data reception mode.

While “Writing” is displayed on the LCD, data are written into the
flash ROM.

9) When data reception and data writing into the flash ROM are

completed, the SUM check is automatically performed.

(Note) In case of an error, “Sum check Error” is displayed.

Turn off the power once, and repeat the procedures from 3).

10)If there is no problem on the result of the SUM check, “Complete”

is displayed on the LCD.

11)Turn off/on the power to print the configuration page with the

above procedures, and check the firmware version.

12)Perform printing on the PC side and check that printing is per-

formed normally.
