Firmware Update (IM 550F/600F/600SRF Only)
Overview of Firmware Update
Difference from Previous Machine
• In addition to an SD card, a USB flash drive can be used for the firmware update. Firmware update
from a USB flash drive can only be performed using the slot on the operation panel.
• When using the slot on the operation panel for the firmware update from removable media (SD
card or USB flash drive), it is no longer necessary to turn the machine’s main power off and then
back on.
• Firmware update from removable media can be executed at the programmed date and time via the
package file read from the removable media in advance.
• Firmware update by the module alone is no longer available.
Overview
• The firmware is basically supplied as a package. However, an individual firmware module may
be provided on special occasions, such as for correcting a problem.
Each firmware module (such as System/Copy, Engine, etc.) used to be updated individually. However,
an all-inclusive firmware package (package_ALL) is now available.
There are four ways to update using the firmware package.
• Removable media
By downloading the firmware package to an SD card or USB flash drive in advance, you can
update the firmware when there is no network connection.
• RFU (Remote Firmware Update)
You can have the firmware package sent from the call center to the machine over the network for
the automatic firmware update.
• SFU (Smart Firmware Update)
Operate the machine to download the firmware package from the server, either immediately or at
the programmed date and time.
• ARFU (Automatic Remote Firmware Update)
The machine automatically checks the server for firmware packages every 76 hours. If there is a
newer package than that on the machine, it will be downloaded for installation.
