3.5.8. Notice after installing the HDD option
After the Hard Disk Drive Unit is installed, to prevent a Scan Disk Function from being performed
(similar to when the power is abruptly interrupted to the PC), it is important to follow the step sequence
below when turning OFF the Power Switch on the machine.
1. If the machine is in the "ENERGY SAVER (Shutdown Mode)", you may turn the Power Switch on
the Left Side of the machine to the OFF position. If it is not in the "ENERGY SAVER (Shutdown
Mode)", continue to step 2 below.
2. Press "FUNCTION" and "ENERGY SAVER" keys simultaneously first.
3. Wait approximately 10 seconds while the machine writes the closing status onto the Hard Disk Drive
Unit and advances into "ENERGY SAVER MODE".
4. Turn the Power Switch on the Left Side of the machine to the OFF position.
5. Unplug the AC Power Cord. (During a Lightning Storm, to prevent electrocution disconnect the
Telephone Line Cable first before unplugging the AC Power Cord.)
6. After finishing the installation of the Hard Disk Drive, please go over the above Power Down
procedure with the customer to avoid the Scan Disk Function from being performed (indicated by
SCANNING HARD DISK message on the display), and customer inquiries related to abrupt Power
Off.
7. Reconnect the Telephone Line Cable if it was disconnected.
3.5.9. Firmware Emergency Recovery
The easiest method to recover the firmware in an Emergency Recovery routine is to use the Master
Firmware Flash Card method (1 Flash Card required).
Whichever method you select, it is easier to restore the machine's firmware to the Standard (AAV) Type
first as it only requires 1 file (SC) to bring the machine to initial working condition.
Note:
It is not possible to recover the SPC using this method.
After recovering, if optional PCL or PS/PCL firmware is required, use the Network Firmware Update Tool
or the Local Firmware Update Tool to update the firmware to the required level.
If the unit does not boot up properly, follow the steps below:
1. Turn the power Off.
Before proceeding to the next step, you must create the Master Firmware Flash Cards (read the
appropriate sections first 3.5.5).
2. Turn the power On while holding the [ENERGY SAVER] button.
3. When the green lamp on the front panel turns On, release the [ENERGY SAVER] button.
The unit is now ready to accept the firmware code from Master Firmware Card.
Repeat the above steps if there are additional firmware code files to be updated.
