In preparation for downloading new firmware to a MX-M182D, 202D or 232D it is necessary to 
install a USB driver on the PC to allow the transfer of the firmware file from PC to MFP. 
 
Once the driver has been installed it will then be possible to connect to the MFP using the 
Integrated Maintenance (Download) Programme.
