1. Unified Firmware Platform
The UFP (Unified Firmware Platform) provides a common firmware base
for the imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX devices and imageRUNNER
ADVANCE Third Generation devices. This makes it possible to unify
development, and reflect the same functions in all supported devices.
The UFP has been designed for advanced functionality, high-reliability, and
ease of operation. The UFP enables digital-business communications,
such as imaging technology, cloud connectivity, and mobile solutions to
work together.
UFP updates are performed on a regular basis, and include new
specifications and enhancements. Critical bug fix firmware updates are
released as needed.
The UFP offers the following features and benefits across all supported
devices in your fleet:
• Consistent firmware updates (Updates are released on a regular basis)
• New features with new specifications
• Error fixes (Critical bug fix firmware updates are released as needed)
See the Unified Firmware Platform Features Reference Manual available
on the Partner Portal and e-Support for the latest UFP release available for
this model series, and the new features introduced with that release.
