Handling SD Cards
Observe the following precautions when handling SD cards:
• Turn off the main power switch before you insert or remove an SD card. Data in
the SD card can be corrupted if you insert or remove an SD card while the main
power switch is on.
• Do not turn off the main power switch during downloading.
• Keep SD cards in a safe location. Do not store SD cards in these locations:
• Locations exposed to high temperature, high humidity, direct sunlight, or
strong vibration
• Locations where there are effects from magnetic forces
• Do not bend or scratch SD cards.
• Do not drop SD cards or expose them to shock or vibration.
NOTE: For the arrangement of files in SD cards, see 5.4.3.

Before you start, tell the user that they cannot use the printer during firmware
update, and that they must disconnect the printer physically from the network. If a
print job comes in, this can cause problems with the firmware update.
