FIRMWARE RECOVERY SHARP 5. Select Firm Update Mode by using the [Menu] & [Back] keys. Using the [UP] and [DOWN] keys, navigate and select the required firmware SFU. Firm Update Firm Update > 0100v100.sfu From USB Memory Note: Use the [OK] key when a directory name is selected to browse through to the sub folder(s) or the [BACK] key to return to the parent folder(s).
WATERMARK UPDATE SHARP 1. Using a PC, copy the Watermark Update firmware onto the root of a USB memory device:- Caution: When copying the Watermark firmware/directories onto the USB drive, do not change the folder hierarchy or files. 2. Insert the USB memory device into a USB port on the machine and execute Simulation 49-05 [WATER MARK UPDATE]:- Note: “If no USB device is detected, an error message will be displayed.

WATERMARK UPDATE SHARP 5. Update File Checking and a progress of the update will be displayed:- 6. Once the update is complete, press OK to exit simulation mode. Watermark Update is complete.
EEPROM HANDLING PROCEDURE SHARP WARNING: Never execute Sim16 to clear U2 trouble WITHOUT investigating the root cause of U2 trouble by using the following procedure:- 1. Ensure to follow ESD procedures (using an earth strap) while handling the PWBs as EEPROM data may become corrupted due to static charge.
SD CARD REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE SHARP Only limited data that is stored on the SD Card can be backed up and reinstalled following replacement or SD card failure. If the SD Card is operating normally before replacement, backup the data and then reinstall the data onto the replacement SD Card.
Page 24
SD CARD REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE SHARP Replacement Procedure: When replacing the SD card, be sure to use the specified SD card supplied as a service part only. The firmware required for booting the MFP device must be included on the SD card that is used in this machine - Commercially available SD cards do not have this firmware data.
