The firmware datecode is listed on the configuration page in the section titled Device
Information. The firmware datecode has this format: YYYYMMDD XX.XXX.X. The first string of
numbers is the date, where YYYY represents the year, MM represents the month, and DD
represents the day. For example, a firmware datecode that begins with 20071210 represents
December 10, 2007. The second string of numbers represents the firmware version, such as
50.002.0.
2. From a command prompt or in an MS-DOS command window, type copy /b <FILENAME> \
\<COMPUTERNAME>\<SHARENAME>, where <FILENAME> is the name of the .RFU file, including
the path, <COMPUTERNAME> is the name of the computer, connected to the product by a USB
cable from which the product is being shared, and <SHARENAME> is the product share name.
For example, type the following:
C:\>copy /b c:\xxxxfw.rfu \\COMPUTERNAME\SHARENAME
NOTE: If the file name or path includes a space, you must enclose the file name or path in
quotation marks. For example, type C:\>copy /b "c:\My Documents\xxxxfw.rfu" \
\COMPUTERNAME\SHARENAME
3. Press Enter. The message 1 file(s) copied appears on the computer screen. The download
process begins and the firmware is updated on the product. This can take several minutes. Let the
process finish without further interaction with the product or the computer. The messages described
in
Control panel messages during the firmware update on page 257 appear on the product control
panel.
NOTE: The product automatically turns off and then on again to activate the update; this can
happen more than once. At the end of the update process, the Ready message appears on the
product control panel. Do not turn off the device or interfere with the update until you see this
message.
4. When the Ready message appears on the product control panel, print a configuration page and
verify that the firmware version number has changed. Also, print the menu map to view the product
settings.
