Firmware Updates
From time to time the 5500 internal “firmware” may need updating to add new features
or improve existing functions. Firmware is easily updated by loading a “Firmware
Update CD” into the system. The latest version of firmware will be available for
downloading to your computer from the MF DIGITAL web site:
www.MFDIGITAL.com
Once a firmware image file is downloaded, a “Firmware Update CD” can then be written
using a computer, a CD-R/RW recorder, and most popular premastering programs (such
as: Adaptec Easy CD Creator and Toast, CeQuadrat WinOnCD, Ahead Nero, NTI CD-
Maker, and others). Refer to your premastering software documentation for details on
how to record a disc from an image file.
After having created a “Firmware Update CD”, perform the following steps to update the
5500 Copier Module firmware:
• With the system turned ON, load the “Firmware Update CD” into the
top CD-R/RW or DVD±R/±RW recorder.
• Turn off the power to the Scribe EC Standalone.
• Turn on the power to the Scribe EC Standalone.
• The system will startup:
• You will see the “Initializing System” screen:
• You will see the upgrade firmware screen:
• Select “Yes” to upgrade the firmware.
• Upon completion, the system will automatically reboot and the
following screen will appear:
• Remove the CD at this time.
• It is possible that the firmware on the CD-R/RW drives may be
updated during this process. If so, you will notice all the drive lights
come on and the screen will read “Firmware Upgrade”. DO NOT
TURN SYSTEM OFF. Turning system off during the process will
damage the drives.
