3-1-4 Updating the firmware
Updating the engine and system (controller) firmware is possible by downloading the firmware
through the parallel interface or through the memory card (CompactFlash). These firmware programs
are directly overwritten in the flash ROM on the printer’s engine board or system DIMM [board
KP-893] (Flash ROM type only) on the main board. The operator panel message in different
languages can also be downloaded through the parallel interface or through the memory card
(CompactFlash).
NOTE System DIMM: Firmware update is possible only with a flash ROM type
system DIMM [board]. Masked type system DIMM [board] can not be
overwritten. Check the type of the system DIMM [board] currently used on the
main board by service status page [see page B-5]).
