Updating the Controller Firmware
• Do not operate the machine using the operation panel, access the machine using Web Image
Monitor, perform fax transmissions, printing, or TWAIN scanning during the update process.
• The update may take a while to complete. Do not turn off the power during the update. Turn off
the power only when an update completion message appears on the machine's operation
panel.
• Never disconnect the cable you are using for the updates during the update process.
• When using a computer running on a Windows operating system, you must have an account
that has Manage Printers permission. Log on as an Administrators group member to acquire
this permission.
• Using the following procedure to update the controller firmware, be sure to print the
configuration page both before and after the update. Comparing pre- and post-update
configuration pages allows you to check whether or not the update was successful.
• Download the firmware files to your computer. Then make a folder on a local drive of your
computer and save the files there.
• FwUpdateTool.exe (Service mode execute file)
• Setting.ini (Parameter setting)

update with fax firmware alone.

using for the firmware update. Disconnect any other non-essential cables.
