Using the IMCU for Maintenance: Single Print Server

Mark the types of files to be upgraded.

About file types

Main Code, Boot Code, IPDS Font files, SCS Font files, and
Rescue Code (only Intermate101) are FFS files. See

“Upgrades of Firmware and Fonts (FFS files)” [page 206]

The two kinds of IDBs are briefly described in

“Upgrades of

IDBs” [page 208]

, which also refers you to where you can get

detailed information appropriate to your IBM host environment
(OS/400 systems or Mainframe).

“Configuration” refers to your own configurations as described
in

“The Binary Configuration File (ima_config.bin)” [page 209]
