nected to a LAN.

4) Upgrading the Main Unit's Firmware Code
Start the Network Firmware Update Tool and select the Firmware Data folder, and then follow the display instructions to
upgrade the Main Unit's Firmware Codes.
5) Confirmation
After the update is completed, the machine reboots itself and returns to standby.
