5.6.2 BEFORE YOU BEGIN 
An SD card is a precision device. Always observe the following precautions when you 
handle SD cards: 
ƒ  Always switch the machine off before you insert an SD card. Never  insert the SD card 
into the slot with the power on. 
ƒ  Do not remove the SD card from the serv ice slot after the power has been switched on. 
ƒ  Never switch the machine off while the  firmware is downloading from the SD card. 
ƒ  Keep SD cards in a safe location where they are not exposed to high temperature, high  humidity, or exposure to direct sunlight. 
ƒ  Always handle SD cards with care. Do not  bend or scratch them. Do not let the SD 
card get exposed to shock or vibration. 
ƒ  Make sure that the write protection of  an SD card is unlocked when you download an 
application to it. If not, downloading fails and a download error (e.g. Error Code 44) 
occurs during a firmware upgrade. 
Keep the following points in mind when you use the firmware update software: 
ƒ  “Upload” means to send data from the machi ne to the SD card.    “Download” means to 
send data from the SD card to the machine. 
ƒ  To select an item on the LCD, touch the  appropriate button on the soft touch-screen of 
the LCD, or, press the appropriate number  key on the 10-key pad of the operation 
panel. For example, when “Exit (0)” shows  on the screen you can touch the Exit button 
on the screen, or, press the 
  button on the operation  panel of the copier. 
ƒ  Make sure that the machine is disconnect ed from the network to prevent a print job 
from arriving while the firmware update is  in progress before you start the firmware 
update procedure.

5.6.3 UPDATING FIRMWARE  
Preparation 
1.  If the SD card is blank, copy the ent ire “romdata” folder onto the SD card. 
2.  If the card already contains the “romdata”  folder, copy the “B230” folder onto the card. 
If the card already contains folders up to “B 230”, copy the necessary firmware files (e.g. 
B230xxxx.fwu) into this folder. 
 
ƒ  Do not put multiple machine firmware 
programs on the same SD card. Copy 
the only model firmware you want. 
ƒ  Controller firmware and operation panel  firmware cannot be updated at the same 
time. It is recommended to update 
firmware modules one by one. 
 
 
 
 
   
1.  Turn the main power switch off. 
2.  Remove the slot cover [A] (
