imageRUNNER ADVANCE C9000 PRO / C7000 Series Service Guide
The value of using the CDS is realized when updating multiple
imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices. Up to 40 minutes can be saved per
machine that would ordinarily be used for machine preparation,
downloading, and installation.
There are three methods to deliver the firmware and applications to the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices:
a. ‘On-site’ Method
Using the ‘On-site’ Method, the Dealer technician is not required to
download the firmware to laptops, CDs, or Flash drives, as the
current firmware is always available via the CDS.
With this method, the Technician visits the customer site to access
the CDS from the imageRUNNER ADVANCE and download the
firmware to the engine HDD. The Technician has the option to
download the firmware immediately or schedule the download. In
addition, the Technician has the option to manually install the
firmware, or automatically install after the download is completed.
The Dealer has the option to permit administrators to perform their
own download and installation from the user mode. (This option is
only available to update to the latest firmware only.) The Service
Technician can enable this feature via Service Mode (disabled by
default). This option does not require the Service Technician to visit
the customer site.
b. ‘Scheduled Delivery’ Method
Using the ‘Scheduled Delivery’ Method the Service Technician
remotely arranges for the firmware data to be downloaded to the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE HDD from a distribution server. This
method ensures that the firmware is downloaded and available
during the next site visit.
The Technician accesses the imageWARE Remote Portal to
schedule the imageRUNNER ADVANCE to download firmware
(between 24 hours and 7 days following a request). The
imageRUNNER ADVANCE updater receives the download schedule
when the e-RDS polls the UGW for the update information. The
updater schedules the imageRUNNER ADVANCE to download the
appropriate application or firmware from the CDS database to the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE HDD.
After the download, the Technician manually installs the application
or firmware from the imageRUNNER ADVANCE HDD.
