If your customer requires User Authentication, and/or Via Fax Server, setup the feature(s) by referring to the 
Operating Instructions (For User Authentication).

After the Hard Disk Drive Unit is installed, to prevent a Scan Disk Function from being performed (similar 
to Windows OS when the power is abruptly interrupted), 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 Right 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 Right 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, if the Fax option installed.)

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.

The easiest method to recover the firmware in an Emergency Recovery routine is to either use the Local 
Firmware Update Tool software by selecting the Independent File method, or using the Master Firmware 
Flash Card method (2 Flash Cards required).

Whichever method you select, it is easier to restore the machine's firmware to the Standard (AAV) Type 
first as it only requires 2 files to bring the machine to initial working condition. (Install the files in this 
order: SC, and SPC).

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 (use the power switch on the right side of the unit).

- Before proceeding to the next step, you must prepare either the Local Firmware Update Tool, or 

create the Master Firmware Flash Cards (read the appropriate sections first).

- If using the Master Firmware Card, insert the Master Firmware Flash Cards in the unit.

2. Turn the power On while holding the “ENERGY SAVER” key.
3. When the green lamp on the front panel turns On, release the “ENERGY SAVER” key.

- If using the Master Firmware Card, the unit will start updating the Firmware code files 

automatically.

The unit is now ready to accept the firmware code from the USB Port, or Master Firmware Card.
Repeat the above steps if there are additional firmware code files to be updated.
