6.5 Firmware Updating with USB Storage Device 
(e-STUDIO202L/232/282)
In this equipment, it is feasible to update the fir mware by connecting the USB storage device on which  
the firmware data is written to the USB connector m ounted on the system control PC board and turning 
ON the power. 
The type of firmware to be updated can be selected  on the LCD screen in this method. This allows to 
update only the necessary firmware individually or t o update all firmware in a batch.
The type of firmware which can be updated with this  method are as follows in the table below.
Firmware StoredModel specific 
folder name Data file name
Master data Hard disk
202_2821, 2, 3 ... n 
* The file name should be consecutive 
numbers from 1 to “n” without file  
extension. The capacity of each file  
is approx. 8 MB. However, the file 
capacity of “n” (last number) may be  
less than 8 MB.

Important:   Only the USB storage device which meets the follow ing conditions should be used for updat-
ing. Be careful since updating with any device othe r than the above is never guaranteed.
- A combination USB storage device with a flash memo ry (to be connected directly to the 
USB port) and its capacity is between 64 MB to 512 M B (or 1 GB).
- Operation of the USB storage device used for updat ing has been confirmed at the input 
check of this equipment (Test mode 03). (   P.2-31 2.2.2 Input check (Test mode 03) (e-STUDIO2 02L/232/282))
- A USB storage device which is complied with the fo llowing standards regulated by USB-IF 
(USB Implementers Forum)
Class number:  8 (=08h) (Mass-storage class)
Sub-class number:  6 (=06h) (SCSI transfer command s et)
Protocol number:  80 (=50h) (Bulk-Only) 
* Most common USB storage devices are complied with  the specification above and can 
be used for updating. However, the operation in all  the Multi Functional Digital Color 
Systems and Multi Functional Digital Systems is not  necessarily guaranteed since the 
most of these devices are developed based on the use  in PC environment (Windows or 
Macintosh). Therefore, confirm thoroughly that the  device is operational in the equip-
ment for which the updating will be performed when  purchasing the device.
 The data file for updating is stored in the model  specific folder.
Never change the model specific folder name since it  is used for discriminating the data file 
when the updating data files for multiple models ar e stored in the USB storage device.
 Store the model specific folder in the root direct ory of the USB storage device.
 Storing the data file directly in the root directo ry is possible when the updating data files for 
one specific model is stored in the USB storage dev ice.
However, if the model specific folder for the same  model as that of the data file stored in the 
root directory already exists, the model specific fo lder will have the priority.
 The USB storage device complied with USB1.1 and US B2.0 can be used for updating. How-
ever, the update is performed in the speed of USB1.1  when the device complied with USB2.0 
is used.
 Do not update the firmware by any storage device o ther than a flash memory (such as a USB 
connection type memory card reader, CD/DVD drive or  hard disk) since it is never guaran-
teed.

[A] Update procedure
Important:   The file system of USB storage device should be fo rmatted in FAT format. Be careful since 
the devices formatted in FAT32 or NTFS format will  not be operated. The file system can be 
confirmed on the properties in applications such as  Explorer of Windows.
 Do not turn OFF the power during the update. The d ata could be damaged and not to be 
operated properly.
(1) Connect the USB storage device to the PC and wri te the model specific folder in which the data 
file is stored. 
 Confirm the model specific folder name and data fi le name before writing the data 
(   P.6-80 6.5 Firmware Updating with USB Storage Dev ice (e-STUDIO202L/232/282)).
 The file system of USB storage device should be fo rmatted in FAT format.
 Windows 95 and NT do not support USB. Be careful s ince the data can not be written on the 
devices in the PCs with these operating systems.
(2) Shut down the equipment. 
(3) Connect the USB storage device to the USB connec tor (host) on the SYS board.
 Fig.6-79
Notes: 
 Do not connect multiple USB storage devices togeth er. 
 The USB storage device can be connected to either  of 2 USB connectors (host). 
 In case the printer kit (GM-1070 or GM-1080U), pri nter/scanner kit (GM-2070 or GM-2080U) 
and scanner upgrade kit (GM-4070 or GM-4080U) are u sed, the update must be performed 
after all the dongles are disconnected from the U SB connector (host) and only the USB stor-
age device is connected.
