5.3.4 UPDATING THE BOOT LOADER FIRMWARE
This is also listed on the configuration page, but this firmware is not updated in the field.
5.3.5 UPDATING FAILURE
If the firmware update is not successful, the update process is suspended and an error message
should display on the FW Update Tool screen. If this happens, DO NOT turn off the machine, and
execute the update procedure again (unless the error message "Downloaded file is broken! Do
NOT use print, scan, fax and copy function at the same time." is displayed).
If power is turned off accidentally during a firmware update, the firmware will not be correctly
updated, and the machine may not start up normally. If the machine does not start up normally, the
controller firmware and/or the engine firmware will need to be updated again.
When the machine does not start up normally, in most cases, the panel display will indicate one of
the following two conditions:

When attempting to restart the machine, the LCD panel display indicates "Initializing"
indefinitely.
In this case, the controller firmware update has failed. The controller firmware must be
updated again.

When attempting to restart the machine, the LCD panel display indicates "Please Download
Engine FW Again!"
In this case, the engine firmware update has failed. The engine firmware must be updated
again.
