When reservation update by the media device is set, the update date and time is displayed.
In the two diagrams below, the firmware is set to be downloaded by the
day before the next scheduled visit. In the first diagram, the download is
successful on the first try. In the second diagram, the download fails three
times and is successful on the fourth try.
•
If the firmware download fails or cannot be completed due to the network settings/condition,
no power to the machine, or other reason, the machine will continue retrying every six
hours until the scheduled deadline (up to a maximum of four tries). For example, if the
download is set for the day before the next visit, the machine will attempt the download at
24 hours before the visit, and then continue trying every six hours (max. four tries total).
•
The retry is only performed in cases when the firmware download has failed.
•
If the machine is in Energy Saver mode when the download is scheduled to begin, the
download will be performed in the background and the machine/panel will stay in Energy
Saver mode.
•
The download will continue uninterrupted even if the customer initiates a print job, copy job,
fax receiving or other operation while the download is in progress.
•
The download will be terminated if the customer turns the power OFF while the download is
in progress.
•
If the download cannot be completed successfully by the time of the next scheduled visit,
the machine will stop trying to download the firmware.
