NOTE
• The firmware data to be updated must be copied to the root directory with the file
name “A0P0FW. tar.”
• More than one firmware data with a single model or multiple models can be stored
in the USB memory. (Maximum of fifteen files)
When storing more than one firmware data, make a folder with a name “(model
code) FW” (“A0P0FW” for this machine) right under the root directory.
(File names can be set arbitrarily)
• When making a folder and storing more than one firmware data, it is also neces-
sary to copy the firmware data “A0P0FW. tar” to the root directly.
