Ricoh B121 - Before You Begin; Firmware Update Procedure for Mfp Machines

FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE FOR MFP MACHINES
B121 Series/B259 Series 5-90 SM
5.2 FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE FOR MFP
MACHINES
This section (5.2) illustrates how to update the firmware of the MFP machine (the
machine with the optional controller box). To update the firmware of the BICU see
section 5.1.12.
To update the firmware for the MFP machine, you must have the new version of
the firmware downloaded onto an SD (Secure Digital) Card. The SD Card is
inserted into the lower slot on the right side of the controller box, viewed from the
back of the machine.
Important: This procedure is only for firmware files with the “.fwu” suffix (for the
MFP model), and cannot be used for firmware files with a “.bin” suffix, which are
only updated on the Basic model via an PCMCIA (Flash Memory) card.
5.2.1 BEFORE YOU BEGIN…
An SD card is a precision device. Use extreme caution:
• Turn off the main power switch before inserting an SD card. Do not insert an SD
card into the slot with the power on.
• After turning on the main power switch, do not remove the SD card from the slot.
• Do not turn off the power switch while the data is downloaded.
• Keep SD cards in a safe place. Do not expose SD cards to high temperature,
high humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not bend or scratch an SD card. Do not drop an SD card or expose it to other
shock or vibration.
Important: This procedure is only for firmware files with the “.fwu” suffix (for the
MFP model), and cannot be used for firmware files with a “.bin” suffix, which are
only updated on the Basic model via an PCMCIA (Flash Memory) card.
The following is the revised procedure for firmware updates on the MFP model
using an SD card.
