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 three ways to update using the firmware package.
- Package Firmware Update via a network: SFU (Smart Firmware Update)
The CE can download the firmware package to the machine via a network, and then update the firmware. For details, see Firmware Update (Smart Firmware Update).
- Package Firmware Update via a network: ARFU (Auto Remote Firmware Update)
The machine automatically checks the server for the latest firmware package version. If the version of the package on the global server is later than that of the package installed on the machine, or if the machine has not downloaded the firmware package, the machine downloads the latest package to update the machine's firmware. For details, see Firmware Update (Auto Remote Firmware Update).
- Package Firmware Update with an SD card
Package firmware update can be performed using the conventional SD card method by writing the packaged firmware directly to the SD card. For details, see Firmware Update (SD Card).
