Firmware Update (Smart Firmware Update)
• A HDD unit must be installed on the machine to enable the SFU or the package firmware update via
SD card.
Overview
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 two ways to update using the firmware package.
• Package Firmware Update via a network: SFU (Smart Firmware Update)
• Package Firmware Update with an SD card
Package Firmware Update via a network: SFU (Smart Firmware Update)
• There are two methods for SFU.
• Immediate Update: To update the firmware when visiting
• Update at the next visit: To set the date and time for downloading. The firmware will be automatically
downloaded beforehand and updated at the following visit.
• “Update at the next visit” is recommended since firmware download may take some minutes due to the
network condition.
• SFU requires the connection to @Remote via a device which has the embedded @Remote
communicating function. When a machine is connected to @Remote via an intermediate device (RC
Gate), the SFU function is disabled.
Other than SFU, package firmware update can also be performed by using the following three methods.
• Package Firmware Update via a network: ARFU (Auto Remote Firmware Update)
• Package Firmware Update via an SD Card
• Package Firmware Update via a network: RFU (Remote Firmware Update)
