Each firmware module (such as System/Copy, Engine, etc) used to be updated individually. However, an all-inclusive firmware package (package_ALL) is now available.
There are two ways to update using the firmware package.
- Package Firmware Update via a network: SFU (Smart Firmware Update)
- Package Firmware Update with an SD card
Package Firmware Update via a network: SFU (Smart Firmware Update)
- There are two methods for SFU.
- Immediate Update: To update the firmware when visiting
- Update at the next visit: To set the date and time for downloading. The firmware will be automatically downloaded beforehand and updated at the following visit.
- “Update at the next visit” is recommended since firmware download may take some minutes due to the network condition.
- SFU requires the connection to @Remote via a device which has the embedded @Remote communicating function. When a machine is connected to @Remote via an intermediate device (RC Gate), the SFU function is disabled.
Other than SFU, package firmware update can also be performed by using the following three methods.
- Package Firmware Update via a network: ARFU (Auto Remote Firmware Update)
- Package Firmware Update via an SD Card
- Package Firmware Update via a network: RFU (Remote Firmware Update)
