ICU Flash ROM PWB for writing new data.
2. Procedure
[1] Confirm whether the machine can start up using the Flash ROM which has been
installed in the machine.
[2] The machine is in the Sim26-44 mode.
In this Sim26-44, set the channel (A channel) where the SCSI cable will be connected to 1
(SC PRINTER).
* If the ARPB2 printer kit has already been used, since the channel setting has already
been completed, the above operation is not necessary. That is, the channel where the
printer kit has already been connected automatically becomes a channel for the SCSI
cable.
* If the version of the ICU ROM installed in the AR280/285/335is 2.xx, setting the Sim26-
44 is not necessary.
[3] Turn off the power and remove the cabinet of the Copier.
