Rev AA Updating the CLARiTY Operating Software 5-23
Updating the CLARiTY Operating Software
The operating software of the printer can be upgraded by a process called
a CLARiTY Update.
The current version of the software is displayed at the page TOOLS >
DIAGNOSTICS > CONTROL > VERSIONS where the software part
number can be read.
The part number has the format:
Part.Version.Service Pack
Eg 403034.R01.SP01 would be part number 403034, Revision 01, Service
pack 1.
In the event that the software has become corrupt or was incorrectly
installed, the software part number states 'Incompatible Software
Versions'.
If this is seen, a CLARiTY update must be performed immediately to
correct the situation, otherwise unpredictable printer behavior may result.
The printer should be used only when a valid part number is displayed in
the part number window.
There are two ways of performing a CLARiTY Update:
1 Connecting the printer to a PC, that runs CLARiTY Configuration
manager
2 Inserting a USB memory stick containing the update file into the
printer
Before performing a CLARiTY Update it is strongly recommended that a
parameter archive is saved using CLARiTY Configuration Manager (Refer
“Archiving the Current Parameters” on page 3-24).
CLARiTY Update Via a PC
It is recommended that when updating via a PC, the PC-Printer
connection is done via Ethernet. This makes the process a lot quicker.
You must have the CLARiTY Update CAB file stored on the PC disk.
Contact your local service representative to obtain the correct file for your
printer.
To update the CLARiTY, proceed as follows:
