MX-4101N  FIRMWARE UPDATE  9 – 3

FTP software is used to transfer the firmware data (extension ".sfu") from the PC to the machine. The controller recognizes the firmware identi-
fier and the machine automatically switches to firmware write mode. After the firmware is updated, the machine automatically resets.

An Web browser (service technician’s Web page) is used to update the firmware.
1)

Start the Web browser on a PC and enter the specified URL. A
special firmware upgrade page appears.

2)

Click the "Update of Firmware" key in the Web page. Click the
[Browse] key and select the firmware for the update.

3)

After selecting the file, click the [Submit] key to send the firm-
ware to the machine. Update processing begins. While pro-
cessing takes place, "Firmware Update, now processing..."
appears.

4)

When the firmware update is finished, "Firmware Update com-
pleted. Please reboot the MFP." appears. Pressing the
[Reboot] key, the machine will restart to complete the update.
The browser will shift to the following screen.

"Close the browser and open again to display latest informa-
tion." will be displayed.

5)

Check the firmware version of machine again.
