Please follow instructions displayed on the screen.
For further information about the procedure, see <<About Firmware Updates.pdf>>.
*In below cases, you do not need to perform the update.
¥The network interface board version in your computer is the same as
the latest version displayed on a top of web page.
¥The version displayed on a top of web page is older than
the network interface board version in your computer.
(b) Fail to update
¥In case that the printer is working./In case of abnormal files.
Please perform the "(a)" update again.
¥The power is disconnected during the update.
Please perform the "(a)" update again.
In this case, you may not be able to access the machine. If such is the case,
turn off the power and turn on the power with the button located behind the
network interface board pushed. After turning on the power, keep pushing the
button more than 5 sec. This makes the network interface board factory default.
All values including the software built in the network interface board and
setting items become factory default.
As the result of that, you need to set the network settings and perform
the update again.
