The operator panel message in different languages can also be downloaded, but through the parallel
interface only.
NOTE Controller system DIMM: Firmware update is possible with flash ROM type
system DIMM [board] only. Masked type system DIMM [board] can not be
overwritten. Check the type of the system DIMM [board] used on the main
board by referring to the figure below.
If the DIMM has a Kyocera logo and firmware version label, the DIMM is a
masked-type and can not be updated. To update firmware for this type of
system DIMM, replace the DIMM.
