SSTv333Eg4 - Installation/Setup Instructions:
NOTE: Some screenshots have been updated but most remain from previous
versions the only major difference is the version number indicated in
the windows title bar.
Version 1.41 of the Service Support Tool had two installer packages, but starting with v1.63 it is
back to a single installer package. The difference was the USB Printer Class driver of Windows
98. The standard USB Print driver that comes with Windows 98 (1st or 2nd editions) was not
acceptable for use with the Service Support Tool. The USB Print driver of Windows 2000 was
acceptable. To allow flashing via USB under Windows 98, Canon had licensed and included a
third party USB driver. Under terms of the third party license, Canon had to track the whereabouts
of all instances of this driver. Upon contract termination with the third party, all instances of the
driver MUST be deleted. With v1.63, Canon has included a driver that does NOT need to be
tracked. Therefore, the separation of installers to allow tracking of the driver is no longer
necessary. This driver is for USB-USB flashing (i.e. for devices that use a USB connector for
flashing) and not for the USB-Parallel Cable (it has its own driver).
NOTE: If the USB driver for Windows 98 was installed from the Service Support Tool v1.41, it
MUST now be uninstalled and replaced with the one included with the current Service Support
Tool version. For instructions, refer to page 4-16 (uninstallation) and page 4-17 (installation).
The Service Support Tool will be posted to e-Support and may be redistributed internally at a
dealership. This version will work for all machines.
NOTE: The installer will determine which version of Windows is running. The installer will
work for Windows 98/NT/2000/XP. USB capabilities are limited to Windows 98 (with the
additional USB driver installed), Windows 2000 and Windows XP - Windows NT does not
support USB. Installation will proceed the same for each as detailed below:
1. Download the self-extracting file (PSST322E.exe) from e-Support or copy it from a CD.
2. Create a folder on the hard drive and place the self-extracting file inside it.
3. Double click on the self-extracting file and click on the OK button to start extraction.
4. One file (SSTv333Eg_Setup.exe) will be extracted into the same folder as where the self-
extracting file is located. It is possible that there may be an optional second file -
FirmDesc.txt. If it is included, always keep it in the same folder as the installation file
(SSTv333Eg_Setup.exe).
Installation/Setup Instructions : 4-1

The following screen shows the installation file and the FirmDesc.txt file:
NOTE: For Windows NT/2000/XP, it is necessary to log in as a user with Administrative

privileges to install the Service Support Tool.Double click SSTv333Eg_Setup.exe to begin
installation. The installer will indicate that it is preparing as shown below:
This will then progress to the following progress dialog:
4-2 : Installation/Setup Instructions

If the installer detects an earlier version of the Service Support Tool, it will put up the following
dialog.
If the Yes button is clicked, then uninstallation will proceed and the steps detailed starting on
page 1-1 should be followed. After this has been completed, the following will be displayed:
At this time, click on the Finish button and then restart the installer.

Once the installer is restarted, the preparing screen will be shown again:
The dialog will change to the following progress dialog:

This will now progress to the following Welcome dialog:
After a few more seconds of preparation, the following will be displayed:

If the Cancel button is clicked at this point, the following will be displayed:
If Yes is clicked, the following will be displayed and the installer can be quit:

If Next is clicked instead of Cancel, the installer will check to see if the software is already
installed. If the software is not installed, installation will continue as indicated on page 4-10. If
there is an installation of the same version of the Service Support Tool, the following dialog will
be displayed:
This dialog shows options for Modify, Repair and Remove. There are no features that can be
modified so that option should not be used (it will act like Repair if it is chosen). If Repair is
chosen, the following dialog will be shown and then the screens will progress as with a normal
installation as shown on page 4-13:

If Remove is chosen, the following will be displayed:
Click on the Remove button and several dialogs will be displayed as items are removed. A
sample is shown below:

After all items are removed, the dialog below will be shown. Click on the Finish button to
complete the uninstallation.

For a new installation, the Canon Software License Agreement dialog will be displayed:
To not accept the license agreement, click on the Cancel button and the installation will be
aborted. To continue with the installation, click the radio button next to I accept the terms in the
license agreement as shown below (the Next button becomes active at this point):

Clicking on the Next button shown in the previous image will cause the Customer Information
dialog to be displayed:
Enter the appropriate information and, for Windows NT/2000/XP, select which users the
application should be available for and then click the Next button. This will bring up the
Destination Folder dialog as shown below:

Select the desired Destination Folder by clicking on the Change... button. That will bring up the
following:
Select the desired location and click on the OK button and then the Next button at the
Destination Folder dialog. That will bring up the Ready dialog shown below:

Click on Install and the following progress screen will be displayed:
Several progress bars will go by during the installation, such as the one below:

Once all processes have been completed, the following final dialog will be presented. Click on the
Finish button.
On Windows 98, it will be necessary to restart the computer after installation. This will be
indicated by the following dialog:

When the Service Support Tool is launched for the first time after installation, the Windows
Installer will perform a few more tasks. The following progress dialog will be seen briefly:
NOTE: By default, Parallel Mode is set to Low-Speed. This should be changed to High-Speed, if
possible (This is NOT possible under Windows NT/2000/XP even if supported by the
hardware). Please refer to the Downloading/Uploading Data section.

USB Driver Removal/Installation (Windows 98)

This driver is for USB-USB flashing (i.e. for devices that use a USB connector for flashing) and
not for the USB-Parallel Cable (it has its own driver).
As mentioned previously, a third party USB driver (provided with the Service Support Tool
v1.41) was necessary to enable flashing over USB from a Windows 98 (1st or 2nd Edition) PC.
From v1.63 of the Service Support Tool, a different driver is provided for this purpose. The
installer will place files necessary for this driver onto the target PC along with the Service Support
Tool. The installation steps detailed here will need to be performed, only once, in addition to the
standard Service Support Tool installation. Again, this is only necessary on Windows 98 PCs.
Also, this installation requires the device (i.e. an imageRUNNER 2000) to be connected to the PC
that has the Service Support Tool installed on it.
NOTE: If the USB driver for Windows 98 was installed from the Service Support Tool v1.41, it
MUST now be uninstalled and replaced with the one included with the current Service Support
Tool version.
Removal
To remove the USB driver from Windows 98, double click on the MSUSBUN98.exe file included
with the Service Support Tool installation. This file is located in the C:\Program
Files\ServiceSupportTool\inf\usbprint folder for a standard Service Support Tool installation on
Windows 98.
When this program is executed, it will ask if the uninstallation should be continued, as shown
below:

Click Yes and the driver will be removed.
To complete the removal, the computer will need to be restarted.
Once the driver is removed, follow the steps in the next section to install the new USB driver.
Installation
Connect the PC and the machine via a USB cable. Power on the PC and the machine. Once both
have started, the Add New Hardware Wizard will start and show the following dialog:

Click Next and the following dialog will be displayed:
Select Search for the best driver for your device. (Recommended), and click Next. This will
bring up the following:

At this screen, choose Specify a location: and click the Browse button. The following dialog
will appear:
If the Service Support Tool was installed into the default directory, select the path to C:\Program
Files\ServiceSupportTool\inf\usbprint and then click OK.
At this point, click Next. It is possible that an Insert Disk message may appear at this point.
This will depend on your PCs configuration prior to this installation. If the Insert Disk message
appears (asking for USB Disk), click on the OK button. At the resulting dialog, click on the
Browse... button and navigate to the same folder used above - C:\Program
Files\ServiceSupportTool\inf\usbprint and click on OK.

When the installation has finished, the following will be displayed:
Click on Finish.
Click on Yes to restart the PC.

At times when connecting to these USB-flashable devices, a dialog will appear again asking to
search for new drivers. This can be ignored by clicking on the Cancel button. No additional
drivers need to be installed. The dialog in question, is shown below:

USB-Parallel Cable Driver Installation (Windows 98/2000/XP)

This section will detail the driver installation for the USB-Parallel Cable (FY9-4154-000) for
Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Each installation is a little different so follow the
appropriate one for the computer being used. If a driver has already been installed for this cable to
be used with PDL Downloader (v3.1.4 or later), it is NOT necessary to install another driver.
Windows 98:
The driver files for the USB-Parallel Cable are included with the Service Support Tool
installation. They will be installed in the folder (for a default installation) C:\Program

5 - Starting the Service Support Tool:
After the Service Support Tool is installed, there will be an entry for it on the Start Menu of the
Windows PC. This entry will be under the Programs section as shown below (there will be a
ServiceSupportTool folder in the Programs section with the ServiceSupportTool and Uninstall
applications):
When the Service Support Tool is launched for the first time after installation, the Windows
Installer will perform a few more tasks. Depending on the computer OS, this may just occur after
the next reboot following installation without actually having to start the Service Support Tool.
The following progress dialog will be seen briefly:
Starting the Service Support Tool : 5-1

If the previous execution of the Service Support Tool ended abnormally (error or other problem),
the following message will be displayed:
Click on Yes to continue.
Once started, the following startup screen will be displayed:
NOTE: There is a potential issue that may be observed when using the Service Support Tool on a
PC that also contains an installation of Microsoft Office 2000. It is necessary with Microsoft
Office 2000 that each user on a given PC needs to register their setup information for installation
to be considered complete. This registration of information is complete once one of the Microsoft
Office 2000 applications is started. When the Service Support Tool starts, it will check certain
Microsoft Windows operating environment information. In response to this check, if Microsoft
Windows finds that the setup information registration process was not completed for the current
user, it will assume that installation of the Microsoft Office 2000 product was not completed and
5-2 : Starting the Service Support Tool

will start up the Installer and display a dialog asking for the Microsoft Office 2000 CD to be
inserted. The CD is actually not needed. To prevent this issue from occurring, one of the
Microsoft Office 2000 applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access - depending on which were
installed) needs to be started. Nothing needs to be done in the application, it just needs to be
started and then it can be quit via the exit command.

6B - Features and Functions: Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 1):
In this and subsequent sections, Downloading will refer to data transfer from the computer to the
copier. Uploading will refer to data transfer from the copier to the computer. These terms are used
for both flashing and Backup Data transfers.
The Downloading/Uploading features are accessed by clicking on the Connect button shown
below on the main screen (Click the MFP button first to change button to Connect if it is
showing Export Firmware). This is the default mode when the Service Support Tool is started.
The Service Support Tool supports several connection methods. Not all devices will support all
possible connection methods, however. Some general information regarding Parallel, Network,
USB and USB-Parallel will be presented in this section.
Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 1) - General : 6B-1

Parallel
NOTE: Due to OS restrictions, the High Speed mode mentioned here is only available under
Windows 98 - it is NOT available under Windows NT/2000/XP. Only Low Speed (Standard)
mode is available for Windows NT/2000/XP.
In the Service Support Tool, there are two parallel download modes High Speed and Low Speed
this is displayed in the upper right hand corner of certain screens. Low Speed (or Standard) is
the term given to the download method utilized in previous versions of the Service Support Tool
(prior to 1.14E) and is included for compatibility reasons. The other download method is the one
labeled High Speed and was introduced in version 1.14Ea (then labeled as Standard) of the
Service Support Tool. Please refer to the Device Specific Notes section for information on which
machines are supported with which mode. If a machine is not supported in both modes, there will
be no display.
Under Windows 98, it is possible to switch between Low and High Speed parallel. This is
accomplished in the System Management area. Refer to Page 6-5 for details on how to make this
switch.
When connecting via parallel, notice that the current method is displayed in the upper right hand
corner of the window below and almost all other windows. Even though it is not possible under
Windows NT/2000/XP to change this mode, it will still be displayed (as Low-Speed).
When installing the Service Support Tool, the default is set to Low-Speed. This will need to be
changed to High-Speed, if possible (i.e. under Windows 98).
6B-2 : Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 1) - General

Network
Some firmware files/machines will allow for Network Downloading (via TCP/IP) in addition to
parallel downloading. Network downloading capability will be listed in the Device Specific Notes
section as well as under the file types that may support it. The connection for Network
downloading should be made with a Cross-Over Ethernet cable. This is a special Ethernet cable
made to connect two devices only. When utilizing Network downloading, the computer and the
device must employ TCP/IP addresses that are of the same segment. The easiest way to
accomplish this is by changing the device TCP/IP address to be the same as the computer TCP/IP
address except for the last number. For example if the computer is 146.184.129.127, make the
device 146.184.129.128. Utilize the same Subnet Mask and Gateway as listed on the computer.
Some devices provide a Fixed IP Mode so that the unit has a fixed IP address for flashing, but still
remembers the end users IP information. Refer to the Device Specific Notes section to identify
Fixed IP Mode devices and their details. For these units, change the computers IP address to
match the fixed IP address - except for the last number.
NOTE: Before making any changes to the network configuration of an installed machine, print
out a configuration page so that there is a record of the original settings. After flashing, return the
machine to those original settings. For Fixed IP Mode devices, this is not necessary.
NOTE: When changing the TCP/IP address in a Windows PC, it is possible that it may request
the Windows OS CD to complete the change. This will vary depending on the version of
Windows and the method of installation. It is suggested to have the Windows OS CD available the
first time this is attempted.
The information for the computer can be found under the TCP/IP Properties, listed in Control
Panels -> Network (Windows 98), Control Panels -> Network -> Protocols (Windows NT),
Control Panels -> Network and Dial-up Connections -> appropriate connection document ->
Properties (Windows 2000) or Control Panels -> Network and Internet Connections -> Network
Connections -> appropriate connection document -> Properties (Windows XP).
NOTE: Network Downloading is only available if the machine has entered Download Mode
through Service Mode. This is the only time that the network protocols will be active for
downloading. This is not the case for Fixed IP Mode devices, however.
When utilizing Network Downloading, the TCP/IP address of the target device will be displayed
in the upper right hand corner as shown below:

When connecting to a device via a Network connection, there will be an area displayed to enter
the TCP/IP address of the target machine. This is shown below:
Normally, Start would be clicked to continue. If Register is clicked, then the IP address will
be added to a pop-up list that will be displayed when the arrow on the right of the IP Address area
is clicked. Remove can be used to remove the current IP address from this same list. The last
used IP address will be in this box by default.
During the download procedure (which is detailed in the following sections), a display as follows
will be presented:

At the bottom of this display, is a counter showing Time Remaining for processing of the data file
just transferred to the machine. In both High Speed and Low Speed modes, as well as in Network
or USB modes, this counter should function. It has been observed that the initial starting value
may not be accurate. Therefore the countdown may proceed into negative numbers, but more
probable is the countdown stopping prior to reaching zero.
USB
Some firmware files/machines will allow (or require) downloading via USB. As with the parallel
downloading, it is possible for there to be more than one USB connector on a machine. Care
should be taken to utilize the proper USB connector.
USB-Parallel Cable - Timeout Setting

When utilizing the USB-Parallel Cable, there is the possibility that there may be a timeout before
the data transfer is completed. Should this occur, there is an adjustment to the timeout setting that
can be modified to lengthen it. The current timeout length is displayed in the upper right hand
corner when making the initial connection to the device. This can be modified in the System
Management area - see Page 6-4.
General
The following sections will discuss each data type individually. Each section assumes that an
IEEE1284 Parallel Cable is attached from the PC to the appropriate parallel port on the machine
to be worked on. Please refer to the specific models Service Manual for details on preparing the
machine for downloading. For file types that support Network Downloading, the steps that are
different from parallel Downloading will also be shown and will be preceded by a Network label.
This will also be done for those steps that are related to USB or USB-Parallel Cable Downloading
and will be noted by a USB or USB-Parallel label.

6B3 - Features and Functions: Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 1):HD Format:
It is possible on some machines to perform this function while connected with a Network or the
USB-Parallel cable instead of a standard parallel one. This changes some of the screens at the
beginning and gives a different clean up screen at the end. These images will be shown after the
ones for the parallel connection in the appropriate areas of this section and will be labeled

Some machines will have Hard Drives (Service Parts) provided blank. In this case, there will be
an HDFormat data file that can be used with this Tool to prepare the HD for the System Software
installation.
As mentioned in the Device Specific Notes section, there are different methods for getting
machines into a download mode to accept data. For the devices supporting the HDFormat files,
there are three methods. In the Device Specific Notes section, these are referred to as Download
Modes B (accessed within Service Mode on the device), C (holding down 2 & 8 while powering
on the device) and E (Fixed IP Mode, then accessed within Service Mode on the device). Each
mode allows a different level of access to the HD using HDFormat. Modes B and E allow limited
access and can only format certain partitions they do not allow for a complete format of the
drive. Mode C allows for a complete format, but can only be done when connected via a parallel
cable the network interface is NOT enabled in Mode C, only in Modes B and E. The only
exception to this is using Mode C on a device that supports Fixed IP Mode - on these devices, the
network interface is enabled in Mode C. Screenshots to account for all of these modes will be
shown.
NOTE: Some Partition format processing actually takes place on the subsequent startup cycle of
the unit. This will cause the startup to take a greater amount of time than usual. This will only
affect the first startup after formatting - subsequent startups will return to the normal length of
time. Additionally, MEAP enabled devices will need some extra time as well on first startup -
once the MEAP arrow appears active on the LCD, the process is complete. Do NOT power off the
device while this extra processing is happening as this can result in corruption of the HDD.

6B7 - Features and Functions: Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 1):Serial Downloading

using the Downloader PCB:
Some devices, such as the Finisher-J1 and the DADF-H1, will require the use of the Downloader
PCB (FY9-2034-000). This device provides a serial (RS232C) connection for flashing. The
Downloader PCB is shown below:
Ref. Name
[1] START/STOP button
[2] LOAD LED
[3] Model indicator LED
[4] Power indicator LED
[5] RS-232C cable
[6] Cable A (9-pin; about 70 cm in length)
[7] Cable B (7-pin; about 50 cm in length)
[5] [8] [1] [2] [3] [4] [7] [6] [8] RS-232C connector
Figure 2-1
The example in this section will be specifically for a Finisher-J1, but the procedure would follow
for any device that utilizes the Downloader PCB.
NOTE: It is possible that a Flash ROM will be changed to a Mask ROM in the course of
production. Therefore, it is possible that units that were flashable may become unflashable over
time, requiring a physical change of the ROM to upgrade. Check the appropriate Service
documentation to confirm the flashing ability of a particular unit.
First, power off all devices and remove the appropriate covers to gain access to the PCB to be
flashed. Then, connect the Downloader PCB to both the PC (via RS-232C cable) and the device to
be flashed (for the Finisher-J1 this would be with Cable B to J12 on the Finisher-J1 PCB). After
connecting both cables, power on the PC and start the copier in the appropriate download mode
(for the Finisher-J1 this would be holding down the 2 & 8 buttons at startup until Download
Mode is displayed on the LCD). Please refer to the Device Specific Notes section of this manual
for any device specific information and details.
When the unit is powered on, the power indicator of the Downloader PCB should be on.
The Downloader PCB utilizes a COM port on the PC. This COM port can be changed in the
System Management area of the Service Support Tool - refer to Page 6-4.

6B11 - Features and Functions: Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 1):ALL/ALL_HDF

Batch Files:
Starting with version 2.02 of the Service Support Tool, a new type of data file is supported. This is
a data file that actually does not contain data but rather a listing of commands to download
specific data files in sequence. This is a Batch File that can be used to minimize the interaction of
a user with the Service Support Tool - particularly when downloading a complete set of data to a
unit. These Batch Files will be provided by Canon USA for use in the field. They will be
distributed on System Software CDs or via e-Support.
Currently, there are two types of files that will be made available. One is named ALL and the
other is ALL_HDF. The ALL file is meant for reinstallation of software onto a machine that
already contains a working system (i.e. Download Mode in Service Mode can be entered). The
ALL_HDF is intended for use when an HDD has been formatted with HDFormat or when a new
service part HDD has been installed (i.e. there is no working system installed). The difference in
these files relates mainly to which Download Modes will be available. Despite the reference to
ALL, these Batch Files do not flash all possible data to the unit - specifically options like G3 Fax
are NOT included at this time. This is because they are options and may not be installed in a given
machine.
The ALL and ALL_HDF files will be referred to collectively in this document as Batch Files.
A Batch File is registered in the Service Support Tool in the same fashion as any other firmware
files. Multiple versions can be registered (i.e. versions for different System Software sets). If
multiple Batch Files are registered, the latest one (by System Software version number) will be
used by default. When selecting a Batch File for use, if the + sign next to the registered name
(i.e. ALL or ALL_HDF) is clicked, the list will expand to show version numbers. At this point, an
older Batch File may be selected for use.
In addition to registering the file for use in the Service Support Tool, it will also be examined and
the Service Support Tool will determine if the referenced firmware files are also registered. If
these files are not registered, the Batch File will not work for the purpose it is intended for so a
listing will be reported at registration to alert the user that files may be missing. The Batch File
itself will register OK. In the listing, checked items are registered and unchecked items are
missing. If multiple Batch Files are registered, all data files referenced will be in the listing so
there may be duplicates. This listing of potentially missing files is shown in the lower left hand
corner of the image at the top of the next page.
When a CD containing Batch Files is registered using the Batch Mode File Registration method,
the Batch Files themselves will be automatically registered last so that all data is registered first
and the list will reflect that. Previously (with v3.03/v3.04), the ALL_HDF Batch File might
register first and indicate that files are not registered when they may actually be registered. This
was corrected in v3.11.
NOTE: Starting with v3.03, a Batch File will work without all data files that are referenced being
registered. Therefore care needs to be taken to verify that all desired files are actually registered.
This is allowed so that undesired elements (such as extra Language or RUI files) may be skipped.
Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 1) - ALL/ALL_HDF Batch Files : 6B11-1

This image shows the listing of potentially missing data files (lower left hand corner):
To utilize the Batch File, select it like any other data file under the appropriate model in the
Connect area. The Batch Files will list as the type of Batch File they are - currently ALL and
ALL_HDF as shown below:
6B11-2 : Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 1) - ALL/ALL_HDF Batch Files

Select the appropriate Batch File:
If all the data files necessary for the particular Batch File are missing, a warning will be shown
(upper left hand side) and the Batch File will not be allowed to run. This error is shown below:

If some of the necessary data files are registered properly, then the execution of the Batch File can
continue. The Interface element (located at top center of the screen) will contain a listing of
interfaces that may be used for the particular model being flashed. If the model can be flashed via
the Network, USB-Parallel and Parallel, then the appropriate items will be in the Interface list.
The appropriate Interface needs to be selected and any extra information (such as target TCP/IP
Address) needs to be entered. Additionally, there are some options as to how the Service Support
Tool will react to attempting to flash the same or a lower version of firmware to a device. Options
are - Skip if versions the same and confirm if version being flashed is older than currently
installed, Confirm same or older version, Overwrite all (no confirmation).
NOTE: In v3.03, the Network interface MUST be selected first, then a different interface can be
selected (Parallel, USB-Parallel). If Network is not selected first, the Start Batch Download
button will not become active. This was corrected in v3.04.
All messages (Instructional, Status, etc.) will be displayed in the box at the center of the screen.
After selecting the appropriate options, click the Start Batch Download button. This will
commence execution of the Batch File, which will most likely start with a message about starting
the proper Download Mode on the copier. An example is shown below:
What happens next will be based on the particular Batch File being used. There will be certain
standard messages that will be observed - particularly those directing a particular Download
Mode be entered on the copier.
During the actual flashing of data, the progress displays will be observed, depending on the data
type currently being flashed by the Batch File, as shown in Sections 6B2, 6B4 through 6B6, 6B9
and 6B10.
The ALL_HDF type Batch File is for use when the HDD has been formatted or replaced by a new
service part HDD. In this case, there is no System Software loaded so there is no access to Service
Mode. The Safe Mode Download Mode needs to be used (starting the copier with the 2 and 8
keys pressed down). A message asking for that mode to be initiated on the copier is shown in the
image above.

When all of the firmware that resides on the HDD is installed by an ALL_HDF Batch File, the
following message will appear:
This will be followed by:
This will allow for the ability to stop the Batch File after the HDD has been refreshed and to
bypass the flashing of FDIMMs. As the ALL_HDF Batch File would be used after an HDD is
formatted or a new service part HDD (which is blank) is installed, this allows the data that resides
on the HDD to be reinstalled while skipping the FDIMM items that would also be flashed - i.e.
BootROM, DCON, RCON.

As it will be necessary to restart the copier for certain items to be flashed (or after certain items
are flashed), there will be messages like the one shown below:
The above instructs which Download Mode to put the copier in as well. This restart will be
emphasized by a second notice about restarting the copier. This is done in those instances where
there will be failures in completing a flash operation if the copier is not restarted. The second
notice is shown below:

It is important to read all messages and to follow their instructions. Failure to do so will result in
failures during the actual data flashing phases.
When data is actually being flashed, there will be progress displays as normal, but after each item
is completed, instead of the usual checksum screen, the following will be displayed:
This allows a Batch File execution to be paused or ended. If no action is taken in five seconds, the
execution of the Batch File will continue.
If the Batch File is paused at this point, the following will be displayed:

6C - Features and Functions: Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2):
Devices that utilize the type of data downloading and uploading described in this section behave
differently than those devices that utilize the procedures described in section 6B and its
subsections. This section and its subsections will describe these differences while detailing the
procedures for these devices. Refer to the chart in section 6 (page 6-2) to determine which devices
correlate to which sections (6B or 6C) for data transfer procedures.
In this and subsequent sections, Downloading will refer to data transfer from the computer to the
copier. Uploading will refer to data transfer from the copier to the computer. These terms are used
for both flashing and Backup Data transfers.
The Downloading/Uploading features are accessed by clicking on the Connect button shown
below on the main screen (Click the MFP button first to change button to Connect if it is
showing Export Firmware). This is the default mode when the Service Support Tool is started.
The Service Support Tool supports several connection methods. Not all devices will support all
possible connection methods, however. The devices that utilize the procedures described in this
section have one connection method (when connecting via a PC) - Network. Additionally, this
Network method is the one described as Fixed IP Mode.
Some devices will support a method using USB Memory instead of an attached PC. The Service
Support Tool (v3.21 or later) is used to prepare the USB Memory. There should be familiarity
with the process and procedures for flashing via the traditional PC connection prior to utilizing
the USB Memory method. Details for the USB memory method are described in Section 6C5.
Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2) - General : 6C-1

Network
Network flashing is accomplished via TCP/IP. The connection for Network downloading should
be made with a Cross-Over Ethernet cable. This is a special Ethernet cable made to connect two
devices only. When utilizing Network downloading, the computer and the device must employ
TCP/IP addresses that are of the same segment. These devices provide a Fixed IP Mode so that
the unit has a fixed IP address (172.16.1.100) for flashing, but still remembers the end users IP
information. Refer to the Device Specific Notes section to identify Fixed IP Mode devices and
their details. In this situation, change the computers IP address to match the fixed IP address -
except for the last number.
NOTE: When changing the TCP/IP address in a Windows PC, it is possible that it may request
the Windows OS CD to complete the change. This will vary depending on the version of
Windows and the method of installation. It is suggested to have the Windows OS CD available the
first time this is attempted.
The information for the computer can be found under the TCP/IP Properties, listed in Control
Panels -> Network (Windows 98), Control Panels -> Network -> Protocols (Windows NT),
Control Panels -> Network and Dial-up Connections -> appropriate connection document ->
Properties (Windows 2000) or Control Panels -> Network and Internet Connections -> Network
Connections -> appropriate connection document -> Properties (Windows XP).
NOTE: Network Downloading is available when the machine has entered Download Mode
through Service Mode AND if the machine enters Download Mode by holding down the 2&8
keys at startup.
When utilizing Network Downloading, the TCP/IP address of the target device will be displayed
in the upper right hand corner, along with the model name and Download Mode, as shown below:
The Clear button in the upper right hand corner will be discussed later in this section.
6C-2 : Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2) - General

When connecting to a device via a Network connection, there will be an area displayed to enter
the TCP/IP address of the target machine. This is shown below:
Normally, Start would be clicked to continue. If Register is clicked, then the IP address will
be added to a pop-up list that will be displayed when the arrow on the right of the IP Address area
is clicked. Remove can be used to remove the current IP address from this same list. The last
used IP address will be in this box by default.

Process - (except for ROM based models)

Devices that employ the procedures described in this, and subsequent, sections behave differently
than previous devices. A main difference is in the actual mechanism used for flashing. The
process that is followed will be described here.
For these devices, there are still two methods of entering Download Mode. As described in the
Device Specific Notes section, these are Download Mode C and Download Mode E. Download
Mode C is entered by holding the 2&8 keys down while starting the device. Download Mode E is
entered by holding down the 1&7 keys while starting the device and then entering Download
Mode through Service Mode. Both of these will result in the copier having the same display on
the LCD, as shown below:
Despite the copier having the same visual appearance on the LCD, there are differences between
Download Mode C and Download Mode E when working with these devices. The differences will
be observed based on what items can be flashed, what items are available for uploading and
downloading (Backup Data), how the HDD can be formatted (described in section 6C3) and
whether items being flashed can check currently installed versions. These differences will be
discussed in section 6C1 and 6C3.
During the normal flashing process (described in section 6C1 and 6C2) the Service Support Tool
will transfer data files to the copier. The names of these files will be observed on the copier LCD
as shown in the image below:

After all desired data files are transferred with the Service Support Tool to the copier, the copier
will need to be power cycled (OFF/ON). When the copier restarts, it will recognize that there is
new data waiting to be installed and will enter a mode called Download Shell. This is pictured
below:
In this mode, the copier will complete the installation of the data files transferred (as shown
above). In some cases, the copier will need to restart (such as DCON and RCON). This will
happen automatically. After all data is completely processed, there will be a final reboot
necessary. The copier LCD will indicate this as shown below:
After this reboot, the copier will start normally.

Process - (ROM based models)

Devices that employ the procedures described in this, and subsequent, sections behave differently
than previous devices. A main difference is in the actual mechanism used for flashing. The
process that is followed will be described here. Since ROM based models do NOT have a HDD,
the process works differently than that described in the previous section. Refer to the Device
Specific Notes section to identify such machines.
For these devices, there are still two methods of entering Download Mode. As described in the
Device Specific Notes section, these are Download Mode C and Download Mode E. Download
Mode C is entered by holding the 2&8 keys down while starting the device. Download Mode E is
entered by holding down the 1&7 keys while starting the device and then entering Download
Mode through Service Mode. Both of these will result in the copier having a similar display on the
LCD. The display for Download Mode C is shown below:
The display for Download Mode E is shown below:
Despite the copier having a similar visual appearance on the LCD, there are differences between
Download Mode C and Download Mode E when working with these devices. The differences will
be observed based on what items can be flashed, what items are available for uploading and
downloading (Backup Data), and whether items being flashed can check currently installed
versions. These differences will be discussed in section 6C1.

During the normal flashing process data cannot be transferred to the HDD of the copier, as
described in the previous section, since there is no HDD. Instead, data is immediately flashed to
an FDIMM. These ROM based units have FDIMMs for the DCON, RCON and a single FDIMM
that contains the BootROM, System and Language data. The progress of the flashing will be
displayed on the copier LCD as shown in the example screens below:
The copier should start normally at the next reboot - there is no Download Shell mode with the
ROM based models.

New Selection Interface (MFP)

Starting with v3.03E, the method for selecting the data to flash has been improved. When the
Service Support Tool is started, it defaults to the Connect area. This area can be returned to after
performing other tasks (such as Register Firmware) by clicking on the Connect button. This
initial screen is shown below:
Use the drop down list on the right hand side of the screen to select a model.

This lists the data files for just the selected model. Note that there will be entries for the ALL files
as well as an entry named Single. ALL files are discussed in Section 6C2 and the Single
entry, which is used to flash individual files to the unit, is discussed in Section 6C1.
Clicking on the + sign next to a data type will expand the list to show the registered versions.

Clear
Starting with v3.21E, a button has been added to the upper right corner when the IP information is
being displayed. This is the Clear button. Previously in this section, it was described that data is
transferred by the Service Support Tool to the copier. This data is stored in a temporary location
until the copier executes the Download Shell and installs the items. The Clear button will
clear out this temporary area on the copier that is currently connected. The button is shown below:
If the Clear button is clicked, the following will be displayed:

If Cancel is clicked, it will return to the following screen:
If Execute Clear was clicked instead, the following will be displayed after the data on the copier
is cleared:

Shutdown
Starting with v3.21E, a button has been added called Shutdown. This button is only available if
the copier has been started in the Download Mode E (Normal). If the copier was started in
Download Mode C (Safe), the Shutdown button will be inactive and labelled Cancel. This
button will initiate a shutdown sequence on the copier. The button is shown below:
If the Shutdown button is clicked, the following will be displayed:

If Cancel is clicked, it will return to the following screen:
If Start Shutdown was clicked instead, the following will be displayed after the shutdown
sequence is initiated on the copier:


6C1 - Features and Functions: Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2):Flashing:
Due to the way the copier and Service Support Tool interact, the process of flashing any given
data type is the same. There are only a few exceptions and items to be aware of. These will be
described later in this section. Also consult the Device Specific Notes section for anything that is
specific to a particular model.
NOTE: ROM based models do NOT contain a HDD. Therefore they will behave a little
differently. These differences will be noted as appropriate. Refer to the Device Specific Notes
section to identify such machines.
As was mentioned in Section 6C, there are two Download Modes that these devices can use - C
and E. Download Mode C (SAFE) is entered into by holding down the 2&8 keys while starting
the device. Download Mode E (NORMAL) is entered into by holding down the 1&7 keys while
starting the device and then entering Download Mode through Service Mode. While both modes
bring up the same (or similar) display on the copier LCD, there are differences. One basic
difference is in what installed items can actually be queried. As will be shown in this section,
there is a point in the flashing process where the Service Support Tool talks to the copier and
provides a listing of what data is currently installed. This listing will change and can be a visual
clue to determine which Download Mode a device was started in. The actual Download Mode in
use will be displayed in the upper right hand corner of the window when connected to a device.
The listing of currently installed data is at the right hand side of the screenshots shown here.
Below is a view showing this listing with the copier started in Download Mode E:
Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2) - Flashing : 6C1-1

The following screen is the same copier but started in Download Mode C:
A difference that can be observed in these screenshots is that DCON (would have been just above
RUI) and G3FAX (would have been just below BOOTROM) are not in the listing above. Also
note the indication of NORMAL or SAFE in the upper right hand corner.
This section will now describe the flashing process in general (applicable to any data type except
ALL and ALL_HDF, which are described in Section 6C2). There will then be descriptions for
Uploading and Downloading Backup Data as well as one for how to restore a backup system on
the copier. Following these sections, there will be some sections that describe any aspects of
particular data types that might be different. Differences due to Download Mode will be listed
where applicable. The Format HDD area is discussed in Section 6C3.
6C1-2 : Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2) - Flashing

General - Download Firmware

From the Connect area (Click the MFP button first to change button to Connect if it is
showing Export Firmware), select the appropriate model as shown below:
This lists the ALL files (if registered) for the model and an item named Single. ALL files are
discussed in Section 6C2. The Single entry is used to flash individual files and will be discussed
here. Click on Single and the screen below will be seen:

Click on the Start button and the following screen will be displayed briefly:
At this time, the Service Support Tool is talking to the copier to get a listing of data that is
presently installed. If the copier has had a service part HDD installed, a different dialog will
display - refer to Section 6C3 for details. As mentioned earlier this listing will change depending
on Download Mode. Another representative listing from Download Mode E is shown below:

As there can be issues at times with version combinations of BootROM and System Software, the
Service Support Tool will utilize the data retrieved from the copier and the registration
information to compare the version of installed BootROM to the version available to flash. If the
version on the copier is older, the following screen will be presented:
Clicking Cancel will proceed forward without flashing the BootROM - picking up with the next
step in the process documented at the top of page 6C1-6. If Upgrade BOOT is clicked, the
BootROM will be flashed as normal. The screen below will be shown once the transfer is
complete (Read the directions, click OK to continue and then perform the steps as indicated in
the directions.):

At this point (if no BootROM update is needed, or it is canceled), the data received from the
device is on the right hand side and data that is registered within the Service Support Tool that can
be used with this device is shown on the left hand side. From the list on the left hand side, either a
data type or a specific version can be selected. The image below shows a data type being selected:
If a data type is selected, the actual data file used will be whatever file is the first in the list that is
shown when the + sign next to the data type is clicked. It is also possible to determine what data
file is being used by looking at the data shown in the lower left hand corner of the screen - it will
give some detail of the currently selected file. The screen below shows a particular version
selected (after first clicking on the + sign next to the data type). Click on the Start button.

If an older or identical version of a data type is selected to be flashed, a warning will be generated.
Some data types will NOT generate a warning and others may or may not depending on
Download Mode. Refer to the information at the end of this section for specifics. A sample screen
for a warning of an identical version being selected is shown below:
If a warning was given, click on the Download button to send the data anyway. When the data is
sent, the progress will be indicated on the screen. This can be seen by a progress bar at the top of
the window (under the CD and arrow icons). This is shown below:

During this data transfer, the names of the transferred data files will be shown on the copier LCD,
as pictured below:
ROM Based : If the copier is a ROM based model, the appropriate FDIMM will be flashed
immediately as shown in the following example copier LCD photos:

Once the transfer is complete, the Start button will become an OK button. Click OK to
continue.
At this point, select another data file to transfer or click on Return to Main Menu to perform
other tasks or to exit the Service Support Tool. As was described in Section 6, to complete the
flashing of the copier, the device should now be power cycled (OFF/ON). The copier will then go
through the process of the Download Shell and install all transferred files, except for the ROM
based models which will not have this step. Once this is complete, the device should be restarted
again and allowed to start normally.

Upload Data
If the Upload Data button is clicked, a screen will be brought up that allows certain data to be
backed up to the local computer. The options presented by this screen will be different based on
Download Mode. These items may also change based on System Software version. The following
two screens are samples in each mode. Notice the difference in the listing in the upper right corner
of the screens. The first screen is in Download Mode E and the second is in Download Mode C:

From either of the two previous screens, select the data that is to be backed up. At this point, the
Start button will become active as shown below:
Click on Start and the data will be collected from the device. Progress will be shown at the top
of the screen. This is shown below:

While the data is being collected, there will be a message also displayed on the copier LCD, as
shown below (first a progress message will be shown, then the Complete message below):
Once the data is collected, the screen will change. The Start button will become a Save button
and a filename will be entered in the area in the upper left hand side of the screen. This filename
may be changed. Do NOT change this name prior to the default being entered - ONLY change the
name at this point. If the name is changed earlier, while the box is empty, data will NOT be
backed up properly. This updated screen is shown here:
At this stage, a memo may also be entered as a reminder for a particular data file (i.e. maybe
customer name is entered to remember where machine is physically). A partition may be selected
for the location to save the data file. Click on Save to save the data to the local computer.

If a file with the same name already exists, the following will be displayed (Click OK to
overwrite the existing file):
After the save is complete, the Save button will become an OK button. Click OK to
continue. This is shown below:

Download Data
If the Download Data button is clicked, a screen will be brought up that allows certain data to
be transferred from the local computer to the copier. The options presented by this screen will not
be different based on Download Mode, but actual ability will be different. The following screen
shows what may be seen. The difference would be in the listing in the upper left corner of the
screen. This listing will change based on what has been previously backed up for the given type of
device:
From the screen above, select the data that is to be restored. Note at this point that the lower left
hand corner of the screen will give details about the selected data. The Start button will now
also become active as shown below:

If a data type is selected that cannot be downloaded in the specific Download Mode that the
copier was started in, an error message will be displayed as soon as the data is selected. Click
OK and select an appropriate data type - or restart in an appropriate Download Mode. The error
message is shown below:
Clicking on Start from the original screen will start the transfer of data to the device. Progress
will be shown at the top of the screen. This is shown below:

While the data is being transferred, there will be a message also displayed on the copier LCD, as
shown below (first a progress message will be shown, then the Complete message below):
After the transfer is complete, the Start button will become an OK button. Click OK to
continue. This is shown below:

Restore Backup System (Not available for ROM based models)

If the Restore Backup System button is clicked, a screen will be brought up that allows the
backup system on a device to become the active system. The screen will be a little different based
on Download Mode. The difference will be whether an active system is shown or not. In
Download Mode C, there will NOT be an active system displayed as the System Software is not
actually running in this mode. The first screen is in Download Mode E and the second is in
Download Mode C:

Click on the radio button next to the phrase Backed up system (right hand side of screen) and
the screen will change. The Start button will become active and the arrows on the right hand
side of the screen will fill in - indicating that the backup system will become active AND the
active system will become the backup. This is shown below:
Click on Start to begin the process. While the data is being swapped, the following will be
displayed:

Once the swap is complete, the following screen will be shown (Click OK to continue and then
restart the copier):

Data Type Specific Notes

This section will detail some information related to specific data types.
DCON/RCON: While DCON and RCON data is actually being flashed (during either the Flash or
Download Shell process) it is important to NOT power cycle the copier. When these data types
are transferred, they will require additional restarts of the copier. These restarts will be performed
automatically as necessary. If the copier was started in Download Mode C, there will be no way
for the Service Support Tool to determine the currently installed versions. In this case the data will
be transferred and the FDIMMs flashed. If the versions were the same or higher, they will be
flashed to the version transferred with no warning screens being displayed. In Download Mode E,
warning screens will be displayed as necessary. On some models it is not possible to flash
DCON/RCON in Download Mode C. A message will be displayed in the Service Support Tool
indicating an improper Download Mode. Refer to the Device Specific Notes section to identify
such machines.
G3 Fax: The G3 Fax data behaves a little differently than the general process described here. First,
the G3 Fax data can ONLY be flashed when in Download Mode E. If an attempt is made to flash
in Download Mode C, the data transfer will freeze at 99% and will never complete. Also, not all
fax boards will have the ability to be flashed - check the Device Specific Notes section to confirm
if a given fax board can actually be flashed. After the G3 Fax data is transferred to the copier, it
will immediately begin flashing the actual fax board - it will not wait for the restart and the
execution of the Download Shell process. Also note that the G3 Fax data type does not check the
current version installed. The data will be transferred no matter what the currently installed
version is.
Key: The Key data type does not check the currently installed version. This data file will be
transferred no matter what the currently installed version is.
Browser: The Browser data type does not check the currently installed version. This data file will
be transferred no matter what the currently installed version is.
TTS: The TTS data type does not check the currently installed version. This data file will be
transferred no matter what the currently installed version is.
Others: If a data type is not mentioned here, then it should behave the same in either Download
Mode and follow the general description given in this section.
ROM based models: All data on these models is being flashed to an FDIMM. It is important to
NOT power cycle the copier while ANY data is being flashed on these devices.

6C2 - Features and Functions: Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2):ALL/ALL_HDF

Batch Files:
Starting with version 2.02 of the Service Support Tool, a new type of data file is supported. This is
a data file that actually does not contain data but rather a listing of commands to download
specific data files in sequence. This is a Batch File that can be used to minimize the interaction of
a user with the Service Support Tool - particularly when downloading a complete set of data to a
unit. These Batch Files will be provided by Canon USA for use in the field. They will be
distributed on System Software CDs or via e-Support.
Currently, there are two types of files that will be made available. One is named ALL and the
other is ALL_HDF. The ALL file is meant for reinstallation of software onto a machine that
already contains a working system (i.e. Download Mode in Service Mode can be entered). The
ALL_HDF is intended for use when an HDD has been formatted with HDFormat or when a new
service part HDD has been installed (i.e. there is no working system installed).
NOTE: ALL_HDF does NOT perform the HD Format. It is to be used after an HD Format has
been performed or a HDD replaced.
The difference in these files relates mainly to which Download Modes will be available. Despite
the reference to ALL, these Batch Files do not flash all possible data to the unit - specifically
options like G3 Fax are NOT included at this time. This is because they are options and may not
be installed in a given machine.
NOTE: Since ROM based models do NOT have a HDD, they will only have an ALL file
associated with them. They will NOT have an ALL_HDF file. Refer to the Device Specific Notes
section to identify such machines.
The ALL and ALL_HDF files will be referred to collectively in this document as Batch Files.
A Batch File is registered in the Service Support Tool in the same fashion as any other firmware
files. Multiple versions can be registered (i.e. versions for different System Software sets). If
multiple Batch Files are registered, the latest one (by System Software version number) will be
used by default. When selecting a Batch File for use, if the + sign next to the registered name
(i.e. ALL or ALL_HDF) is clicked, the list will expand to show version numbers. At this point, an
older Batch File may be selected for use.
In addition to registering the file for use in the Service Support Tool, it will also be examined and
the Service Support Tool will determine if the referenced firmware files are also registered. If
these files are not registered, the Batch File will not work for the purpose it is intended for so a
listing will be reported at registration to alert the user that files may be missing. The Batch File
itself will register OK. In the listing, checked items are registered and unchecked items are
missing. If multiple Batch Files are registered, all data files referenced will be in the listing so
there may be duplicates. This listing of potentially missing files is shown in the lower left hand
corner of the image at the top of the next page.
When a CD containing Batch Files is registered using the Batch Mode File Registration method,
the Batch Files themselves will be automatically registered last so that all data is registered first
and the list will reflect that. Previously (with v3.03/v3.04), the ALL_HDF Batch File might
register first and indicate that files are not registered when they may actually be registered. This
was corrected in v3.11.
NOTE: Starting with v3.03, a Batch File will work without all data files that are referenced being
registered. Therefore care needs to be taken to verify that all desired files are actually registered.
This is allowed so that undesired elements (such as extra Language or RUI files) may be skipped.
Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2) - ALL/ALL_HDF Batch Files : 6C2-1

This image shows the listing of potentially missing data files (lower left hand corner):
To utilize the Batch File, select it like any other data file under the appropriate model in the
Connect area. The Batch Files will list as the type of Batch File they are - currently ALL and
ALL_HDF as shown below:
6C2-2 : Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2) - ALL/ALL_HDF Batch Files

Select the appropriate Batch File:
If all the data files necessary for the particular Batch File are missing, a warning will be shown
(upper left hand side) and the Batch File will not be allowed to run. Pay attention to the fact that
common files, such as Key and SDICT, will count as necessary files and will allow the Batch File
to be run. This error is shown below:

If some of the necessary data files are registered properly, then the execution of the Batch File can
continue. The Interface element (located at top center of the screen) will contain information for
the interface that may be used for the particular model being flashed. The appropriate extra
information (such as target TCP/IP Address) needs to be entered. Additionally, there are some
options as to how the Service Support Tool will react to attempting to flash the same or a lower
version of firmware to a device. Options are - Skip if versions the same and confirm if version
being flashed is older than currently installed, Confirm same or older version, Overwrite all (no
confirmation).
All messages (Instructional, Status, etc.) will be displayed in the box at the center of the screen.
After selecting the appropriate options, click the Start Batch Download button. This will
commence execution of the Batch File, which will most likely start with a message about starting
the proper Download Mode on the copier. An example is shown below:
What happens next will be based on the particular Batch File being used. There will be certain
standard messages that will be observed - particularly those directing a particular Download
Mode be entered on the copier.
During the actual flashing of data, the progress displays (both in the Service Support Tool and on
the copier LCD) will be observed as shown in Section 6C1.
The ALL_HDF type Batch File is for use when the HDD has been formatted or replaced by a new
service part HDD. In this case, there is no System Software loaded so there is no access to Service
Mode. The Safe Mode Download Mode needs to be used (starting the copier with the 2 and 8
keys pressed down). A message asking for that mode to be initiated on the copier is shown in the
image above.

When all of the firmware that resides on the HDD is installed by an ALL_HDF Batch File, the
following message will appear:
This will be followed by:

The copier needs to be restarted so that the installation process (as described in Section 6C) can be
completed and then the additional components may be flashed if desired. This will be explained in
a third message that will appear:
This will allow for the ability to stop the Batch File after the HDD has been refreshed and to
bypass the flashing of FDIMMs. As the ALL_HDF Batch File would be used after an HDD is
formatted or a new service part HDD (which is blank) is installed, this allows the data that resides
on the HDD to be reinstalled while skipping the FDIMM items that would also be flashed - i.e.
BootROM, DCON, RCON.

It is important to read all messages and to follow their instructions. Failure to do so will result in
failures during the actual data flashing phases.
When data is actually being flashed, there will be progress displays as normal, and after each item
is completed, the following will be displayed:
This allows a Batch File execution to be paused or ended. If no action is taken in five seconds, the
execution of the Batch File will continue.
If the Batch File is paused at this point, the following will be displayed:

When the Batch File execution is resumed, the following will be shown:
If a Batch File execution is ended instead, a confirmation dialog will appear as shown below
(Click OK to continue):

This will be followed by this status screen (Click OK to continue):
If an error occurs during a flash operation, it will be indicated in its normal fashion and the
following will be displayed (Click Resume or Finish to continue):

When all processes have been completed successfully, the following will be shown (Click OK
to continue):

6C3 - Features and Functions: Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2):HD Format:
Some machines will have Hard Drives (Service Parts) provided blank. In this case, there will be
an HDFormat data file that can be used with this Tool to prepare the HD for the System Software
installation. The HDFormat data file will actually be common to all devices that utilize the
procedures documented in this section. Since the file is common across models, it will register in
the Service Support Tool under iRXXXX or iRCXXXX.
As mentioned in the Device Specific Notes section, there are different methods for getting
machines into a download mode to accept data. For the devices supporting the HDFormat files,
there are two methods. In the Device Specific Notes section, these are referred to as Download
Modes C (holding down 2 & 8 while powering on the device) and E (Fixed IP Mode, then
accessed within Service Mode on the device). Each mode allows a different level of access to the
HD using HDFormat. Mode E allows limited access and can only format certain partitions it
does not allow for a complete format of the drive. Mode C allows for a complete format.
Screenshots to account for both of these modes will be shown.
NOTE: Some models allow partition (Mode E) formatting ONLY through Service Mode - not
through the Service Support Tool. Refer to the Device Specific Notes section for a note on the use
of this Service Mode mechanism.
NOTE: Some Partition format processing actually takes place on the subsequent startup cycle of
the unit. This will cause the startup to take a greater amount of time than usual. This will only
affect the first startup after formatting - subsequent startups will return to the normal length of
time. Additionally, MEAP enabled devices will need some extra time as well on first startup -
once the MEAP arrow appears active on the LCD, the process is complete. Do NOT power off the
device while this extra processing is happening as this can result in corruption of the HDD.
To format the HDD in a unit select the appropriate model in the Connect area, as shown below:
Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2) - HD Format : 6C3-1

Select the Single option, as shown below:
Click on the Start button to continue. If the HDD in the copier currently contains System
Software, follow the steps starting on page 6C3-6. If the HDD in the copier is a newly installed
service part HDD, continue with the steps as shown on page 6C3-3.
6C3-2 : Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2) - HD Format

HDD without System Software (service part)

NOTE: Service Support Tool v3.04 or later is REQUIRED in this situation. If Service Support
Tool v3.03 is used, the following will be displayed after clicking on the Start button:
This issue was corrected in Service Support Tool v3.04. With this version or later, the following
will be seen instead:

If Return to Main Menu is clicked at this point instead of Execute HDD format, the following
error message will be displayed. Click on Return to Main Menu to return to the main menu. The
next time an attempt is made to connect to this copier, the option to format the HDD will be
presented again.
If Execute HDD format is clicked, the following will be displayed while the HDD is being
formatted:

While the HDD is being formatted, the following two messages will be displayed on the copier
LCD. The first message will be overwritten by the second one.
After the HDD is formatted, the following will be displayed and software can then be flashed to
the HDD:

HDD already containing System Software

Click on the Start button to get the following screen:
Click on Format HDD to access the area to perform either a partition or complete format. As
mentioned previously, what can be formatted will change depending on Download Mode and
model.

A list will be shown on the right hand side of the screen. It will list items for both Safe Mode
(Download Mode C) and Normal Mode (Download Mode E). For Safe Mode, there will be entries
for ALL and BOOTDEV. Normal Mode will show other individual partitions (except
BOOTDEV) which may vary by particular device. If the particular model connected to requires
partition formatting to be done through Service Mode, there will be no partitions listed under
Normal Mode. At this point, the desired partition target should be selected. This will be a partition
or ALL for a full HDD format. This screen and this procedure will be the same regardless of
which Download Mode is in use. However, only items for the Download Mode in use can be
selected and utilized. If a target for the Download Mode not in use is selected, the following error
(in the upper right hand corner) will be displayed as soon as the target is selected:
The following instructions will be appropriate for formatting both partitions and the entire HDD.
The only difference is which target is selected and there is a slightly different message on the
copier LCD when the entire HDD is formatted. This will be indicated where appropriate.

To perform a format, select the desired target (partition or ALL) after making sure to start in the
appropriate Download Mode. This is shown below:
Once the target is selected, the Start button will become active and there will be a description of
the target area in the lower right hand corner of the screen. Click on Start and the following
confirmation screen will be shown:

If Cancel is clicked at this point, the following screen will be shown (note the message in the
upper right hand corner) - Click OK to continue:
If Execute Formatting is clicked instead, the following status screen will be shown (note the
message in the upper right hand corner):

While the HDD is being formatted, the following two messages will be displayed on the copier
LCD. The first message will be overwritten by the second one. The timeframe for display of the
first message may be very short - particularly if only a partition is being formatted.
Additionally, if a complete HDD format is being done (ALL was the selection in Safe Mode), the
final message will appear as shown below:

Once the format is complete, the screen in the Service Support Tool will appear as shown below:
Click OK to return to the Download area screen.

At this point, other partitions may be formatted, other tasks may be performed (such as using
Download Firmware to load System Software on the device) or click on Return to Main
Menu to return to the main menu and perform other tasks.
NOTE: When performing a full HD format, there will be no System Software left for the machine
to use. This will cause an error code to be displayed on startup E602-0002. Remember to install
System Software (and other files as necessary, such as RUI and Language) to return the machine
to a functional state.

6C4 - Features and Functions: Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2):Serial Downloading

using the Downloader PCB:
Some devices, such as the Finisher-T1, will require the use of the Downloader PCB
(FY9-2034-000). This device provides a serial (RS232C) connection for flashing. The
Downloader PCB is shown below:
Ref. Name
[1] START/STOP button
[2] LOAD LED
[3] Model indicator LED
[4] Power indicator LED
[5] RS-232C cable
[6] Cable A (9-pin; about 70 cm in length)
[7] Cable B (7-pin; about 50 cm in length)
[5] [8] [1] [2] [3] [4] [7] [6] [8] RS-232C connector
Figure 2-1
The example in this section will be specifically for a Finisher-T1, but the procedure would follow
for any device that utilizes the Downloader PCB.
NOTE: It is possible that a Flash ROM will be changed to a Mask ROM in the course of
production. Therefore, it is possible that units that were flashable may become unflashable over
time, requiring a physical change of the ROM to upgrade. Check the appropriate Service
documentation to confirm the flashing ability of a particular unit.
First, power off all devices and remove the appropriate covers to gain access to the PCB to be
flashed. Then, connect the Downloader PCB to both the PC (via RS-232C cable) and the device to
be flashed (for the Finisher-T1 this would be with Cable B to J723 on the Finisher-T1 PCB). After
connecting both cables, power on the PC and start the copier in the appropriate download mode
(for the Finisher-T1 this would be holding down the 2 & 8 buttons at startup until Download
Mode is displayed on the LCD). Please refer to the Device Specific Notes section of this manual
for any device specific information and details.
When the unit is powered on, the power indicator of the Downloader PCB should be on.
The Downloader PCB utilizes a COM port on the PC. This COM port can be changed in the
System Management area of the Service Support Tool - refer to Page 6-4.
Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2) - Downloader PCB : 6C4-1

From the Connect area, select the appropriate model and file (in this example, the
CONTROLLER for Finisher-T1) as shown below, and click on the Start button:
6C4-2 : Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2) - Downloader PCB

When the Start/Stop button on the Downloader PCB is presed, verify that the Start LED turns on.
After clicking on OK, the following will be shown:
Select the desired version and the Start button will become active:

When the Start button is clicked, the current stage of the process will be highlighted in the
listing on the right hand side of the window. The process for Initial and Setup are very quick, and
will be followed by the Erase process as shown below:
After the Erase procedure, the Write process will be indicated. Progress of the Write process can
be followed by observing either the bar at the top of the window or by the image of the IC on the
right hand side of the window filling from bottom to top. This is shown below:

When the process is complete, the screen below will be displayed. Click OK to continue.
At this point, press the Start/Stop button on the Downloader PCB and verify that the Start LED is
off. Power off both the PC and the unit, disconnect the cables and reinstall the covers.


6C5 - Features and Functions: Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2):USB Memory Device:
Some devices will allow the use of a USB memory Device to perform certain upgrading and
servicing functions. These devices will be listed in the Device Specific Notes section. Please refer
to the tables there for devices that support this functionality.
When utilizing a USB memory Device, the device will need to be prepared by using the Service
Support Tool (v3.21 or later). The process of this preparation, as well as the use of the USB
Memory Device, will be described in this section.
NOTE: Uploading and Downloading of Backup Data is NOT possible with a USB Memory
Device - this MUST be done via the Service Support Tool directly.
Getting Ready
The following items will need to be completed before it will be possible to utilize a USB Memory
Device.
1. A computer with Service Support Tool v3.21 (or later) and a USB port will need to be
available.
2. The System Software CD for the desired target device will need to be registered in the Service
Support Tool.
3. An appropriate USB Memory Device will need to be available. Refer to page 3-1 for
specifications and related notes.
4. Attach the USB Memory Device to the computer. Note the Drive Letter assigned to it.
Preparation
The following process describes how to prepare a USB Memory Device for use in flashing
System Software, and related files, to a supported copier.
NOTE: Only data that can be flashed with the Service Support Tool over a Network connection
can be flashed with a USB Memory Device. For example, Finisher data normally flashed with the
Service Support Tool and the Downloader PCB cannot be flashed with a USB Memory Device.
The process description starts on the following page.
Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2) - USB Memory Device : 6C5-1

At the initial screen of the Service Support Tool, click on the USB button. This will change the
Connect button to Export Firmware as shown below:
From the pop-up menu in the lower left hand corner, select the Drive Letter for the USB Memory
Device. When the device is selected, there will be an indication, also in the lower left hand corner,
with details (validity, format, free space, etc.) about the device. This is shown below:
6C5-2 : Downloading/Uploading Data (Type 2) - USB Memory Device

Next select the desired Series from the pop-up list on the right hand side of the window:
After selecting the Series, select the desired Version from the pop-up list as shown below:

After making the Version selection, the Service Support Tool will check to see the registration
status of the desired System Software version and its related items. The display on the right hand
side of the window will show all components of the desired System Software set. The Service
Support Tool will indicate Y (registered) or N (not registered) next to each item. Non-registered
items will obviously not be copied to the USB Memory Device and therefore cannot be flashed
onto a target copier. An example of these markings is shown below:
Click on the Start button to initiate the process of transferring the data to the USB Memory
Device. While the data is being transferred, the screen below will be displayed. Note the message
in the upper right hand side of the screen.

Once the transfer is completed, the following screen will be shown:
Click OK to continue. Exit the Service Support Tool and properly remove the USB Memory
Device from the computer as per the appropriate Operating System mechanism.
Connecting to Copier
1. Make sure Copier is powered OFF. If it is not, properly power down the Copier.
2. Connect the USB Memory Device to the USB port on the Copier.
3. If there is a Network cable attached to the Copier, disconnect it.
4. Start the Copier in the desired Download Mode (Normal or Safe/2&8) depending on the desired
task. Copier behavior as to what items or tasks can be performed in each of the Download Modes
is the same whether it is a direct Service Support Tool connection or a USB Memory Device. It is
NOT necessary to hold down the 1&7 keys to start in Normal Mode when using a USB Memory
Device. If starting in Normal Mode, enter Service Mode and Download Mode
(Copier>Function>System>Download) as would be done with a connection with a computer and
the Service Support Tool.
5. When in Download Mode, a download Menu (USB) title should be observed instead of the
normal Download Mode. If download Menu (USB) is not observed, the copier did not
recognize the USB Memory Device. Refer again to the specifications and notes on page 3-1 and
make sure the USB Memory Device fits all of the specifications.
NOTE: The Service Support Tool cannot be used while a USB Memory Device is in use on a
copier. The copier will NOT communicate with the Service Support Tool when it has detected a
USB memory Device.

Download Menu (USB)

The contents of the download Menu (USB) will change depending on Download Mode and other
criteria. The following is the menu when the copier is started in Normal Mode (1&7):
Note that even though Format HDD is present, it is not possible to use this command. If
selected, it will bring up a screen where the only choice is to return to the main menu. This is
shown below:
The Shutdown command is available since System Software is active at this point.
The following is the menu when the copier is started in Safe Mode (2&8):
Note that Shutdown is not available in this mode since System Software is NOT active at this
point. Format HDD will become Format HDD (ALL) if a HDD has been replaced with a
service part HDD.
The following sections will discuss each of the potentially available functions.

Upgrade (Auto)
The System Software, and related data, on the copier and on the USB Memory Device are
compared. Any data on the USB memory Device that is newer than that on the copier will be
transferred over to the HDD and installed onto the system on the next reboot. Some data types
will transfer no matter what version is currently installed as they cannot collect version
information for comparison - Key, TTS, Browser, DCON (in Safe Mode), RCON (in Safe Mode)
- so make sure that the USB memory Device has been prepared with the latest versions.
Press 1 to select Upgrade (Auto) and the following will be displayed on the copier LCD:
Press 0 to begin or any other key to cancel and return to the menu.
When executing, file names will be displayed on the copier LCD as they are copied. This is
shown below:
After all files are transferred, the copier will restart automatically and enter the download-shell for
file processing/installation as shown below:

After this completes, the following will be displayed:
Properly turn off the power, remove the USB Memory Device and then turn the power back on.
Upgrade (w Confirmation)
This option will work basically the same as the Upgrade (Auto) described previously with the
following exceptions:
1. If data on the USB Memory Device is the same or an older version than what is on the copier,
the following message will be displayed:
Press 0 to copy the file, and install, anyway or press any other key to skip.
2. The copier will not automatically restart and enter the download-shell after transferring the
selected data. This restart must be done manually. The copier LCD at this point will appear
similarly to what is shown below:

The previous screen shows the message displayed when in Safe Mode (+++ Switch OFF the
power then ON. +++). In Normal Mode, this will be replaced with a message ---Please hit any
key---. When any key is pressed, the LCD will display a message to turn off the main power
switch. This is the same message seen when doing a normal shutdown on the copier. This
Follow the appropriate directions to properly power off the copier. When power is off, remove the
USB Memory Device and then turn the power back on. The copier will then go into the
download-shell and install the data. After this is complete, the final restart will need to be done
manually as usual.
Upgrade (Overwrite all)

This option behaves identically to the Upgrade (w Confirmation) described previously except that
no message will be displayed if a data item is older or the same as the currently installed item on
the copier. All data on the USB Memory Device will be transferred over and installed. It will also
follow the same system of manual restarts described for Upgrade (w Confirmation).
Format HDD/Format HDD (ALL)

The format function is only available in Safe Mode. To format individual partitions, as would
normally be done in Normal Mode, utilize Service Mode on the copier. This is described in the
Device Specific Notes section.
In Safe Mode, this function will be either Format HDD or Format HDD (ALL). The
difference will be whether the HDD in the copier is a just installed service part HDD or not. If the
HDD has just been installed, the Format HDD (ALL) option will be available. This will do a
complete format and partitioning of the new HDD. If the HDD has been previously prepared (i.e.
formatted in the copier via this method or the Service Support Tool), the Format HDD option
will be the one available. This will allow formatting of the BOOTDEV partition.
When this option is selected, the following will appear to allow the selection of the partition (if
this command is used in Normal Mode, the only choice here will be Return to Main Menu):

Press 0 to begin formatting. In the case of either Format HDD command, progress will be
displayed as shown below:
When any key is pressed, the Main Menu will be displayed again.
NOTE: Remember to install System Software (and associated files) after formatting the HDD.
Backup
This function is strictly for Canon developmental purposes. It does NOT backup any data like the
Service Support Tool does. Data backup should still be performed using the Service Support Tool.
DO NOT USE THIS FUNCTION.
Restore former version

This option performs the same function as Restore Backup System in the Service Support Tool
(refer to Section 6C1). If there is no backup System Software, this option will not be available. If
selected, the backup and active System Software versions will swap. After completion, a restart
will be necessary as shown below:

The previous screen shows the message displayed when in Safe Mode (+++ Switch OFF the
power then ON. +++). In Normal Mode, this will be replaced with a message ---Please hit any
key---. When any key is pressed, the LCD will display a message to turn off the main power
switch. This is the same message seen when doing a normal shutdown on the copier. This
Properly turn off the power, remove the USB Memory Device and then turn the power back on.
Clear downloaded files

This option performs the same function as the Clear button in the Service Support Tool. This is
described in Section 6C. If data has been transferred via Upgrade (w Confirmation) or Upgrade
(Overwrite all), and the power has not yet been turned off, this option can be used to clear these
files before they are processed. If power has already been turned off, start the copier in Safe Mode
to access this function and clear the data. When the clearing process is complete, the copier LCD
will appear as shown below (pressing any key will return to the Main Menu):

Shutdown
In Normal Mode, this option will be available. Using this option will initiate a proper shutdown of
the copier. Follow the directions and turn off power when directed:
Press 0 to initiate the shutdown. This will bring up the following message:
After power is turned off, remove the USB Memory Device.

*NOTE: Devices with a Parallel port can also utilize the USB-Parallel Cable. Refer to the
USB-Parallel Cable topic in this section for important restrictions and details.
**NOTE: Fixed IP Mode is a mode where a fixed IP address (172.16.1.100) is used for flashing
the unit. This fixed IP address is used by the machine when started in either Download Mode
supported by the unit (C - Download Mode and E - Service Mode). The end-user IP information is
retained and does not need to be altered to perform flashing.

Some devices share common data files across many models. Therefore the Model Name that the
firmware is registered under may not exactly match the model being updated. The following
tables lists these models and what Model Name they will be registered under. The multiple
versions of imageRUNNER 5000 and CLC11xx are listed as well for clarification.

imageRUNNER 5000 (old Main Controller) BootROM
There are some extra steps required for flashing an imageRUNNER 5000 BootROM. A second
FDIMM is needed to perform this function. Make sure the machine is powered off. Place this
FDIMM (the FDIMM to be upgraded) into slot J1009 on the Main Controller PCB. The current
BootROM will be (and should now remain) in slot J1010. Start the Download Mode as indicated
above. Utilize the Service Support Tool to update the BootROM as described in that section of
this manual. Power off the machine. Remove the FDIMM from slot J1010. Move the FDIMM
from slot J1009 to slot J1010 to complete the update. The FDIMM that is removed from J1010
may be used as the FDIMM for slot J1009 in another update sequence.
imageRUNNER 5000 (old Main Controller) Low Speed Mode
If it is necessary to communicate with the imageRUNNER 5000 in Low Speed mode, then the
imageRUNNER 5000 should be started in Download Mode (method C, page 7-18) for all items.
imageRUNNER 2200/2800/3300/5000/5000i/6000/7200/85/8500/105 Starting in Download

Mode instead of Normal
If the imageRUNNER starts in Download Mode (without holding the keys as in method C, page
7-18) instead of Normal Mode, it will be necessary to redo installation starting with the HD
Format and reinstalling System Software and RUI, if necessary.
Copier vs. Network (N) System Software/BootROM

(imageRUNNER 2200/2800/3300/5000(new Main Controller)/6000/7200/85/8500/105)
The above captioned imageRUNNERs ship initially as Copier-only models and need to be
upgraded with an appropriate Printer Kit to add Network Printer functionality. Part of this process
is the physical replacement of the original BootROM with a Network enabled BootROM
(designated with an N at the end of the version). Also, a Network version of System Software
must be installed.
When flash files are registered in the Service Support Tool, they will be registered under the
model name (i.e. iR8500) if they are Copier-only files (such as for the BootROM or System
Software) or files common to both versions (such as the RUI, HD Format and Language). For
Network versions of the BootROM and System Software, they will be registered under the model
name with an N appended to the end (i.e. iR8500N).
While the BootROM and System Software can be updated in the imageRUNNER, they can only
be updated with files of the same type (with or without an N) and BootROM and System
Software must match for the imageRUNNER to operate with one exception. In the process of
performing a Network upgrade, the BootROM should be replaced first. The N BootROM will
support an imageRUNNER starting with Copier System Software. This is done to allow use of the
imageRUNNER (in Copier-only mode) if there is a wait time until the System Software can be
installed. Once the Network System Software is installed, the update is complete. Once an
imageRUNNER has a matched set of BootROM and System Software, both can be flashed in the
imageRUNNER to newer versions of the same type (with or without N).
NOTE: If a Copier-only BootROM is installed in an imageRUNNER with Network System
Software already installed, an E677 error will be displayed on startup.
Despite the N BootROM supporting an imageRUNNER starting with Copier System Software,
the N BootROM will NOT support flashing Copier System Software (only flashing of Network

System Software) again with one exception. Some imageRUNNER models support internal and
external controllers (i.e. imageRUNNER 8500 with Printer Kit-B3 (Internal) and the
imagePASS-M1 (External)). When Printer Kit-B3 is used, the system works as previously
described. However, when the imagePASS-M1 is used, the system is a little different. To allow
for an upgrade to the imagePASS from a unit with Printer Kit-B3 already installed, there is a
method to allow an N BootROM (which would have been installed with the Printer Kit-B3) to
permit the flashing of Copier System Software onto the imageRUNNER. This is achieved with a
combination of updated firmware files (the flash files for the Service Support Tool) and an
updated Service Support Tool application (v1.32 or later).
Color imageRUNNER C2050 vs Color imageRUNNER C2058
There are several differences between the Color imageRUNNER C2050 and the Color
imageRUNNER C2058. A main one is the Printer Board. The Color imageRUNNER C2050
introduced the Color Network Printer Board-A1 and the Color imageRUNNER C2058 introduces
the Color Network Printer Board-B1. The Color Network Printer Board-B1 may also be used in
the Color imageRUNNER C2050, if the Color imageRUNNER C2050 firmware values
(D-CON/R-CON/S-CON) are at the proper level. With respect to the two models, the R-CON is
the same, so the file is common to both models even though it may register in the Service
Support Tool under one model or the other. The S-CON and D-CON, however, are unique to each
model. This is due to some of the other differences between a Color imageRUNNER C2050 and a
Color imageRUNNER C2058. Always make sure that the proper S-CON or D-CON file is being
utilized. Under the Service Support Tool, the files for a Color imageRUNNER C2050 register
under iR_C2100 and the files for a Color imageRUNNER C2058 register under iR_C2105.
For each model, there will be separate S-CON and D-CON files. All older R-CON files registered
under iR_C2100 (for the Color imageRUNNER C2050). Currently, newer R-CON files continue
to be registered under iR_C2100. At the present time, regardless of where the R-CON file is
registered, it may be used on both models. Where the files are registered, as well as
inter-operability, may change in the future.

imageRUNNER 1600/2000/2010F USB Flashing
There are two USB connectors on the imageRUNNER 1600/2000/2010F models. One is external
(on the optional Printer Board) and is ONLY for USB printing. The USB connector for flashing is
on the IP PCB and is J3/J203. The small rectangular plate on the rear of the unit must be removed
to access this connector. This connector is also used for the optional Ethernet board to plug into.
Therefore, if the Ethernet board is installed, there will already be a USB cable attached to J3/J203.
This cable must be removed from J3/J203 so that the USB cable that will be used for flashing may
be installed. The USB cable from the Ethernet board should be reinstalled after flashing is
complete.
During the flashing process, there will be a time when the lights on the Control Panel are turned
on and the imageRUNNER will reboot itself. This is normal. During this time, the Service
Support Tool will still be on a countdown screen. This screen will continue until it reaches zero,
at which point the checksum screen will appear. Before the Service Support Tool counts down to
zero, the imageRUNNER will reboot and Windows will present an Add New Hardware screen.
Just press Cancel.
Color imageRUNNER C3200 (Color imageRUNNER C2620/C3220 note is on page 7-26)

There are several items to note about the Color imageRUNNER C3200.
First, previous monochrome imageRUNNERs had two versions of BootROM and System
Software - C (Copier) and N (Network) - see note on page 7-19. The Color imageRUNNER
C3200 is very similar to those imageRUNNERs in terms of items that can be flashed with an
exception in that it only has one System Software file that works with both C and N BootROMs.
The C and N BootROMs act as previous ones have.
The Color imageRUNNER C3200 provides for flashing ONLY over a network interface. There is
NO parallel flashing capability. This also varies from the previous monochrome imageRUNNERs
in that this unit employs a Fixed IP Mode. This mode provides for a pre-defined IP address
(172.16.1.100) to be utilized when the unit is flashed. When this ability is used, the end-user IP
information is not lost - it is kept and is utilized again when the unit is started up normally.
The DCON and RCON on this unit are flashable as well. They may only be flashed when the unit
is started up in what is described in this manual as Download Mode E - Fixed IP Mode where

Download Mode is entered through Service Mode. Also, after flashing either the DCON or the
RCON, restart the unit - do NOT flash both in succession.
NOTE: If there is a problem while flashing either the DCON or the RCON, such as power loss,
then there will be an error code displayed on the subsequent startup - E733 (DCON) or E732
(RCON). If this occurs, reflash the appropriate component. If this continues to occur, replace the
physical DIMM.
imageRUNNER 5000i - Controller Upgrade Kit and System Software
An option is available for the imageRUNNER 5000i called the Controller Upgrade Kit. If this kit
is installed, then the imageRUNNER 5000i needs to be updated to a new version of System
Software (initially v40.09). Additionally, this version of System Software requires the Controller
Upgrade Kit to be installed. If the imageRUNNER 5000i does not have the Controller Upgrade
Kit, then System Software v9.01 is currently the highest version that should be installed.
When an imageRUNNER 5000i is upgraded from v8.02/v9.01 to v40.09, certain items will be
initialized as listed below:
1. Address Book/One-touch Buttons
2. Copy Log/Send Log/Activity Report(RX)/Spool Log
3. COPIER/FUNCTION/MISC-P/HIST-PRT>SEND-ERR
4. Additional Function Setting/Service Mode Setting
This data should be backed up prior to upgrading the unit to v40.09.
imageRUNNER 2220N/3320N/2220i/3320i/5020/6020/5020i/6020i (MEAP)

There are several items to note about the above captioned imageRUNNER units.
First, previous monochrome imageRUNNERs had two versions of BootROM and System
Software - C (Copier) and N (Network) - see note on page 7-19. The above captioned
imageRUNNER units are very similar to those imageRUNNERs in terms of items that can be
flashed with an exception in that they only have one System Software file that works with both C
and N BootROMs. The C and N BootROMs act as previous ones have.
The above captioned imageRUNNER units provide for flashing via parallel as well as over a
network interface as previous monochrome imageRUNNERs have. Network flashing differs from
the previous monochrome imageRUNNERs in that these units employ a Fixed IP Mode. This
mode provides for a pre-defined IP address (172.16.1.100) to be utilized when the unit is flashed.
When this ability is used, the end-user IP information is not lost - it is kept and is utilized again
when the unit is started up normally.
These units also have an additional flashable component in the form of MEAPCONT (MEAP
Contents). MEAPCONT is registered and flashed via the Service Support Tool as described in
this User Manual. It should be noted that there are several preinstalled applications for the MEAP
environment. These are included in the MEAPCONT file for the Service Support Tool and will be
reinstalled when this file is flashed. These preinstalled applications are also included on the
System Software CDs distributed by Canon USA so that they may be reinstalled if they are
removed - without having to reflash MEAPCONT completely. It should also be noted that future
versions of the MEAP system may require updated version of these applications so they should be
reinstalled from a System Software CD that matches the version of MEAPCONT in use.
NOTE: Additionally, other MEAP applications may be installed by the administrators of a given
machine. If the HDD needs to be replaced or reformatted, particular procedures will need to be
followed to properly carry over the licenses to the new (or newly formatted) HDD. These
procedures will be documented in the appropriate Technical Publications for these machines.
Because of the above possibility, confirm with the machine administrators what applications are
installed under MEAP, their application IDs, machine serial number and where the original

application install files are before formatting or replacing a HDD. Related to this is new
functionality (from v1.81 on) where the MEAP application area can be backed up through the
Service Support Tool to simplify the process of formatting or replacing the HDD. Refer to the
following item for details.
MEAP Application Area Backup Function

Starting with v1.81, it is possible to backup the MEAP application area to assist in the process of
formatting or replacing a HDD in a MEAP enabled device. This functionality has some important
restrictions and notes, however.
1. This process is for the backup and restore of the MEAP application area during a HDD format
or replacement ONLY. It is not a backup for storage or disaster recovery purposes. After data is
backed up, the MEAP applications should NOT be accessed. The HDD should then be formatted
or replaced immediately, followed by the restoration of the data.
2. The backup data is associated to the device Serial Number. Data MUST be restored to the
device with the same serial number.
3. This back up function is accessed through the Backup Data function discussed in section 6B4
(System Software - Upload/Download Backup Data) or section 6C1 (Flashing) - depending on
target model. Therefore, for those models utilizing the directions in section 6B4, the appropriate
System Software file (not MEAPCONT), for the target device needs to be selected in the Service
Support Tool to perform this function.
4. This function can only be performed if the target device has been started in Download Mode C
(2 & 8 buttons held down at startup). The Meapback.bin item will NOT be visible except in this
download mode.
5. This function is only available if the target MEAP enabled device is at an appropriate level of
firmware. This firmware is listed in the table below:
BootROM System Software

Color imageRUNNER C2620 70.01 or later 78.01 or later

imageRUNNER C3170 1.03 or later 10.15 or later
imageRUNNER C5870U/C6870U 2.03 or later 3.04 or later
6. Maximum free space needed on the HDD of the PC performing the backup is 300 MB.
7. The following items are backed up by this operation:
Jar files of MEAP Applications
Settings made by MEAP applications

User information data registered with SDL

NOTE: This function does NOT backup images in Mailboxes
8.In addition to performing this function to backup MEAP data, normal backup procedures should
be followed as well - SRAMimage.bin should be backed up (process described in section
6B4/6C1 - depending on target model) and data should be exported via the RUI as well. This data
will also be needed when the HDD is formatted or replaced.
9. If the optional SDL or SSO are being used as the login service, it is recommended to switch to
default authentication prior to performing the backup function. Although the SDL user
information will be backed up by this procedure, it is recommended to also export the user
information via the User Management page (http://<device IP address>:8000/sdl).
10. If an HDD from a system using SDL or SSO is formatted without first changing the login
service to default authentication, an error message will be displayed - The login service must be
set again with SMS - and the system will not be able to start up. If this occurs, change the login
service to SDL or SSO (whatever was in use prior to formatting) with SMS. If the IP Address of
the system is unknown, start the copier in Fixed IP mode (start up with 1 and 7 keys held down)
and use the service IP address of 172.16.1.100 to access the SMS.
USB-Parallel Cable
Starting with v1.81 the USB-Parallel Cable (FY9-4154-000) may be used. This is the ONLY
USB-Parallel Cable that will function with the Service Support Tool. Additionally, the driver for
the cable MUST be installed for the cable to function. Refer to the instructions in the
USB-Parallel Cable Driver Installation item located in the Installation/Setup Instructions section
for driver installation information.
The USB-Parallel Cable is supported on Windows 98/2000/XP ONLY.
Since High-Speed parallel (for those devices that support it) is unavailable in Windows 2000/XP
due to OS reasons, this cable will allow connection to parallel devices at speeds on the order of
High-Speed parallel. It will also be useful for those laptops where parallel ports have not been
included by the manufacturer.
This cable can be used with any device that supports flashing over a standard Parallel port. For
these devices, and if the cable and driver are properly installed, a new option will be seen in the
Interface selection - USB-Adp. Utilize this selection when using the USB-Parallel Cable.
NOTE: There are some limitations in the current implementation of this system. Devices that
utilize Download Mode A, can utilize the USB-Parallel Cable for downloading firmware ONLY -
Backup Data Uploading/Downloading is NOT supported. This Backup Data function still
functions properly with Service Support Tool v1.81 (or later) with a standard Parallel Cable.
NOTE: If difficulty is experienced when using the USB-Parallel Cable, a standard Parallel Cable
should then be used to determine if it is a device or USB-Parallel system issue.

With previous imageRUNNER products, there was a separate BootROM file - for Copier-only
and for Network versions (see note on page 7-19) - for flashing with the Service Support Tool.
For the above captioned imageRUNNER and Color imageRUNNER devices, this is no longer
true. There are still two separate BootROMs, physically. With these devices, there will now be a
common BootROM file for flashing with the Service Support Tool. This file will update either a
Copier or Network type BootROM to the latest firmware level. The BootROM will remain
whichever type it was to begin with. Since this is now a common file, it will register in the Service
Support Tool where other common files do - under the plain name of the device. In the case of the
above captioned devices, it will be registered, for example, under iRC3100, iRC6800 or iRC3220.
This BootROM file should be used no matter which type of BootROM is being flashed (C or N

type).
ALL/ALL_HDF Batch Files
A new data file type will be included on CUSA-distributed System Software CDs. These are
Batch Files that are used to automate the installation process of the System Software and related
items. There are currently two types of Batch Files - ALL and ALL_HDF. These are explained in
section 6B11 and 6C2 (depending on target model) of this User Manual. Version 2.02 or later of
the Service Support Tool is required to use these files.
Color imageRUNNER C2620/C3220/C4080/C4580/C5180 (MEAP)

There are several items to note about the Color imageRUNNER C2620/ C3220/ C4080/ C4580/
C5180.
The Color imageRUNNER C2620 and Color imageRUNNER C3220 utilize the same System
Software - the System Software for the Color imageRUNNER C3220 (starting with v81.01).
The Color imageRUNNER C4080, Color imageRUNNER C4580 and Color imageRUNNER
C5180 utilize the same System Software - the System Software for the Color imageRUNNER
C4080/C4580/5180 (starting with v10.16).
The System Software is similar to the Color imageRUNNER C3200 - there is only one System
Software file that works with both C and N BootROMS - see note on page 7-21. The C and N
BootROMs act as previous ones have - except when flashing - see Common BootROM File note
on page 7-25.
The Color imageRUNNER C2620/C3220/C4080/C4580/C5180 provides for flashing ONLY over
a network interface. There is NO parallel flashing capability. This unit employs a Fixed IP Mode.
This mode provides for a pre-defined IP address (172.16.1.100) to be utilized when the unit is
flashed. When this ability is used, the end-user IP information is not lost - it is kept and is utilized
again when the unit is started up normally.
The DCON and RCON on this unit are flashable as well. They may only be flashed when the unit
is started up in what is described in this manual as Download Mode E - Fixed IP Mode where
Download Mode is entered through Service Mode. Also, after flashing either the DCON or the
RCON, restart the unit - do NOT flash both in succession.
NOTE: If there is a problem while flashing either the DCON or the RCON, such as power loss,
then there will be an error code displayed on the subsequent startup - E733 (DCON) or E732
(RCON). If this occurs, reflash the appropriate component. If this continues to occur, replace the
physical DIMM.
This unit also has an additional flashable component in the form of MEAPCONT (MEAP

note on page 7-23 for details.
imageRUNNER 2270/2870/3570/4570/5070/5570/6570/8070/85+/9070/105+ (MEAP)

First, these units REQUIRE Service Support Tool v3.03 or later (v3.04 or later REQUIRED
when replacing HDD with a service part HDD, v3.11 or later REQUIRED for imageRUNNER
5570/6570).
Second, previous monochrome imageRUNNERs had two versions of BootROM and System
imageRUNNER units are very similar to those imageRUNNERs in terms of items that can be
flashed with an exception in that it only has one System Software file that works with both C and
N BootROMs. The C and N BootROMs act as previous ones have - except when flashing - see
Common BootROM File note on page 7-24.
The above captioned imageRUNNER units provide for flashing ONLY over a network interface.
There is NO parallel flashing capability. Network flashing differs from the previous monochrome
imageRUNNERs in that these units employ a Fixed IP Mode. This mode provides for a
pre-defined IP address (172.16.1.100) to be utilized when the unit is flashed. When this ability is
used, the end-user IP information is not lost - it is kept and is utilized again when the unit is
started up normally.
The DCON and RCON on these units are flashable as well (except for the imageRUNER
8070/85+/9070/105+). As with previous Color imageRUNNER units that allowed DCON and
RCON flashing, the unit should be restarted in between flashing these items. Since the system
used for downloading on these units is different than the previous Color imageRUNNER units,
this is taken care of automatically. This new process is discussed in the next paragraph.
With the imageRUNNER devices associated with this note, there is a new process for flashing.
With previous models, the Service Support Tool was used to flash items to the device. This
process entailed both the data transfer from PC to copier as well as the actual final disposition of
the data on the copier (HDD, FDIMM, etc.). The process used by the imageRUNNER devices
associated with this note is different. The Service Support Tool is used for the transfer of data
only - no data is actually processed by the copier while the Service Support Tool is being utilized.
Once the data is transferred, the Service Support Tool has completed its portion of the process. A
list of the data transferred will be displayed on the copier LCD as it is being done. The data is
stored in a special temporary area of the HDD on the copier. Once the copier is restarted after the
flashing, the copier will look into this special area - actually the copier will look into this special
area on each startup. If the copier sees data in this area, it will process it. At this time, the items
will have their final disposition - whether they go to special areas of the HDD or to an FDIMM.
The progress of this can be seen on the copier LCD. Since the actual flashing is happening at this
point, the copier will enforce the need to reboot between the flashing of DCON and RCON. A
final reboot will be needed - the copier will leave this to be done manually so the final activity
screen will remain on the copier LCD. This new system and interaction are the reasons that these
units require v3.03 or later of the Service Support Tool. The procedures to follow are described in
Section 6C.
One item that is a little different than the others (on the imageRUNNER 2270/2870/3570/4570) is
the G3 Fax. First, only the Super G3 Multi-Line Fax Board-D1 can be flashed with the G3Fax
data. The single line Super G3 Fax Board-Q1 is controlled by the System Software and can not be
updated - updates would be in the System Software files for the copier itself. Also, the Super G3
Multi-Line Fax Board-D1 can only be updated in Download Mode E - and the Fax Board will be
flashed immediately instead of waiting for the copier reboot. If an attempt is made to flash the Fax
Board in Download Mode C, the progress indicated on the copier LCD will stop at 99% and the

Service Support Tool will never report that the transfer was complete. In this situation, restart the
copier and the Service Support Tool.
Additional items that can be flashed on all of these units are Key, SDICT, Browser and TTS.
These are explained in separate notes.
NOTE: Previously (v3.03/v3.04/v3.11), there was a problem with deleting Backup Data
(described in Section 6A) for some of these copiers. If it was desired to delete Backup Data for
these models, it had to be done manually. The data is stored in the folder C:\ServData\iR2270i
(for the imageRUNNER 2270/2870/3570/4570), C:\ServData\iR8570i (for the imageRUNNER
8070/85+) and C:\ServData\iR105i (for the imageRUNNER 9070/105+). In this folder will be
subfolders labeled by copier serial numbers. This was corrected in v3.21. Manual deletion should
no longer be necessary.
Key Data Type
A new data file type will be included on certain CUSA-distributed System Software CDs. This is
a data type called Key. This type will first be released for the imageRUNNER
2270/2870/3570/4570 models. There are currently two Key types that will exist xc and xp -
both should be flashed at the same time. The basic functionality of this data type is to provide the
necessary security components for certain options available on the copier. These options include -
RUI and SMTP/POP both working with SSL, as well as SSL capability used within MEAP and
MEAP applications. If a HDD is replaced or formatted, make sure to flash the Key components
back onto the new, or newly formatted, HDD. These files are included on a unit from the factory.
SDICT Data Type
a data type called SDICT. This type will first be released for the imageRUNNER
2270/2870/3570/4570 models. On certain imageRUNNER devices, such as the imageRUNNER
2270/2870/3570/4570, there is an extra option available for the Universal Send option - the
Universal Send PDF Enhancement Kit. Part of this option is the capability to create searchable
PDF files. For Roman-based languages (English, French, etc.) the necessary dictionary files are
included in the System Software. For some languages (i.e. Japanese) special dictionaries are
needed that are not included in the System Software. The SDICT file included on the
CUSA-distributed System Software CDs are the special files needed in this situation. The initial
release is an SDICT file for Japanese. This file only enables the ability to create a searchable PDF

in Japanese. If this file is not on the imageRUNNER, searchable PDF files containing other
languages (English, French, etc.) can still be created. If a HDD is replaced or formatted, make
sure to flash the SDICT component back onto the new, or newly formatted, HDD. This file is
included on a unit from the factory.
iRC3200 MEAP Expansion Kit
It is possible to upgrade a Color imageRUNNER C3200 to a Color imageRUNNER C3220 by

means of the iRC3200 MEAP Expansion Kit. As a part of this hardware/software kit is new
System Software for the Color imageRUNNER. In the process of doing this upgrade, there is a
certain path of System Software upgrade (particularly BootROM) that must be followed. To aid in
this, there are two special Batch Files included on the System Software CD in the kit. These Batch
Files will register under the iRC3200 and are called UGkit_C and UGkit_N. The C and N
designate whether the original copier is configured with a C or N BootROM. Utilize the
appropriate Batch File based on the copier being upgraded.
Common BootROM File and New BootROM Types (imageRUNNER 2230/2830/3530 ROM and
HDD based models)
With some previous imageRUNNER products, there was a separate BootROM file - for
Copier-only and for Network versions (see note on page 7-19) - for flashing with the Service
Support Tool. For the above captioned imageRUNNER devices, this is no longer true. These
devices have three separate BootROMs, physically - C (Copier), P (UFR II Network) and H
(PCL/UFR II Network). The ROM based models use the C type BootROM and have a data file
for the Service Support Tool to update this BootROM. This will register in the Service Support
Tool under iR2230.
The HDD based models utilize either the P or H type BootROM. With these devices, there will be
a common BootROM file (for P and H types) for flashing with the Service Support Tool. This file
will update either a P or H type BootROM to the latest firmware level. The BootROM will remain
whichever type it was to begin with. Since this is now a common file, it will register in the Service
Support Tool where other common files do - under the plain name of the device. In the case of the
above captioned devices, it will be registered, for example, under iR2230HD. This BootROM file
should be used no matter which type of BootROM is being flashed (P or H type).
Browser (BROWS) Data Type
a data type called Browser. This type will first be released for the imageRUNNER 5570/6570
models. This file contains the necessary software for the Web Access Software option. This is a
purchasable option enabled via the LMS (License management System). If the Browser data is
not on the HDD, then this option will not function. If a HDD is replaced or formatted, make sure
to flash the Browser component back onto the new, or newly formatted, HDD. This file is
TTS Data Type
a data type called TTS. This type will first be released for the imageRUNNER 5570/6570
models. TTS files contain the data necessary to utilize the Voice Guidance Kit option. Currently,
these files are available for Japanese and English. If no TTS files are located on the HDD, then
this option will not function. If the appropriate TTS file is not on the HDD, based on the LCD
display language, then English will be used. If a HDD is replaced or formatted, make sure to flash
the TTS component(s) back onto the new, or newly formatted, HDD. These files are included on a
unit from the factory.

Help
a data type called Help. This type will first be released for the Color imageRUNNER
C4080/C4580/C5180 models. Help files contain the data necessary for the display when "Help
Key" is pushed. If no Help files are located on the HDD, then this option will not function. If the
appropriate If a HDD is replaced or formatted, make sure to flash the Help component(s) back
onto the new, or newly formatted, HDD. These files are included on a unit from the factory.
WebDAV
a data type called WebDAV. This type will first be released for the Color imageRUNNER
C4080/C4580/C5180 models. WebDAV files contain a module to achieve the function added to
Universal Send Function. If no WebDAV files are located on the HDD, then this option will not
function. If a HDD is replaced or formatted, make sure to flash the WebDAV component(s) back
onto the new, or newly formatted, HDD. These files are included on a unit from the factory.
ASR
a data type called ASR. This type will first be released for the Color imageRUNNER C2280/
C3380 models. When Voice Operation Kit-A1 is used, this module is a necessary module. The
voice dictionary data for ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) is included. If no ASR files are
located on the HDD, then this option will not function. If a HDD is replaced or formatted, make
sure to flash the ASR component(s) back onto the new, or newly formatted, HDD. These files are
Media
a data type called Media. This type will first be released for the imagePRESS C1. This is the
file that includes the media brand information selected as the media type. Upgrading of this file
enables the addition of the available media brands. If no Media files are located on the HDD, then
this option will not function. If a HDD is replaced or formatted, make sure to flash the Media
component(s) back onto the new, or newly formatted, HDD. These files are included on a unit
from the factory.
Finisher-T1/Saddle Finisher-T2 (CONTROLLER data)
When working with a Finisher-T1 or Saddle Finisher-T2 (CONTROLLER data), it is

REQUIRED to use Service Support Tool v3.11Ed or later.

Partition Formatting with Service Mode
On some devices, it is possible to format individual partitions through the following Service
Mode: Copier>Function>System>HD-Clear. On some devices, this will be the only way to
format an individual partition. In all cases, a complete HDD format will only be possible by using
the Service Support Tool. The procedure to format an individual partition is as follows:
Enter Service Mode and proceed to Copier>Function>System. The LCD should appear as shown
below:
Touch CHK-TYPE and then enter the desired partition number. The partition numbers are
detailed in the device Service Manual. Examples are:
0 - All HDD - CANNOT be used with HD-CLEAR.
1 - Image accumulation area
2 - General purpose files (User setting data/All log data/PDL spool data) storage area
3 - PDL relevant files storage area
4 - Firmware storage area - CANNOT be used with HD-CLEAR.
5 - MEAP application area
6 - SEND relevant files (Address book, Filter) storage area - CANNOT be used with
HD-CLEAR.
7 - Firmware backup storgae area - CANNOT be used with HD-CLEAR.
In this case, the possible numbers that can be entered for an HD-CLEAR are 1, 2, 3 and 5. After
the number is entered, the LCD will be as follows:

At this point, touch HD-CLEAR so that the LCD looks like the image below:
Next touch the OK button in the lower right hand corner of the LCD. When this is done, the LCD
will show the following indication:
This will be followed very quickly by the following indication:
As with any HDD initialization, the subsequent device startup will have a slightly increased
timeframe.

imageRUNNER C3170/C5870U/C6870U (MEAP)
There are several items to note about the above captioned imageRUNNER C units.
First, the imageRUNNER C3170 REQUIRES Service Support Tool v3.21 or later and the
imageRUNNER C5870U/C6870U units REQUIRE Service Support Tool v3.22 or later.
Second, previous monochrome imageRUNNERs had two versions of BootROM and System
imageRUNNER C units are very similar to those imageRUNNERs in terms of items that can be
flashed with an exception in that they only have one System Software file that works with both C
and N BootROMs. The C and N BootROMs act as previous ones have - except when flashing -
see Common BootROM File note on page 7-24.
The above captioned imageRUNNER C units provide for flashing ONLY over a network
interface. There is NO parallel flashing capability. Network flashing differs from the previous
monochrome imageRUNNERs in that these units employ a Fixed IP Mode. This mode provides
for a pre-defined IP address (172.16.1.100) to be utilized when the unit is flashed. When this
ability is used, the end-user IP information is not lost - it is kept and is utilized again when the unit
is started up normally.
The above captioned imageRUNNER C units also allow for flashing via a USB Memory Device.
This is detailed in a seperate note in this section as well as in Section 6C5.
The DCON and RCON on these units are flashable as well. As with previous imageRUNNER C
units that allowed DCON and RCON flashing, these units should be restarted in between flashing
these items. Since the system used for downloading on these units is different than the previous
imageRUNNER C units, this is taken care of automatically. This new process is discussed in the
next paragraph.
With the imageRUNNER C devices associated with this note, there is a new process for flashing.
With previous models, the Service Support Tool was used to flash items to the device. This
the data on the copier (HDD, FDIMM, etc.). The process used by the imageRUNNER C devices
units require v3.21/v3.22 or later of the Service Support Tool. The procedures to follow are
described in Section 6C.
One item that is a little different than the others is the G3 Fax. First, for the imageRUNNER
C3170, only the Super G3 Multi-Line Fax Board-F1 can be flashed with the G3Fax data. The
single line Super G3 Fax Board-S1 (imageRUNNER C3170) is controlled by the System
Software and can not be updated - updates would be in the System Software files for the copier
itself. Also, the Super G3 Multi-Line Fax Board-F1 and the Super G3 Fax Board-U1 for the
imageRUNNER C5870U/C6870U can only be updated in Download Mode E - and the Fax Board
will be flashed immediately instead of waiting for the copier reboot. If an attempt is made to flash
the Fax Board in Download Mode C, the progress indicated on the copier LCD will stop at 99%
and the Service Support Tool will never report that the transfer was complete. In this situation,
restart the copier and the Service Support Tool.
Additional items that can be flashed on these units are Key, SDICT, Browser and TTS. These are
explained in separate notes.

Flashing with a USB Memory Device
Some devices, as indicated by the tables at the beginning of this section, will allow for flashing
via a USB Memory Device. The Service Support Tool is still required to prepare this USB
Memory Device before it can be used to flash a unit. The specifications for the USB memory
Device are listed on page 3-1 and the procedures for preparing and using the USB Memory
Device to flash a unit are detailed in Section 6C5. Even though the mechanism is not a direct
connection of the Service Support Tool to the unit, many of the same principles are in use. It is
recommended to be familiar with the Service Support Tool method of flashing before utilizing a
USB Memory Device. Some tasks still require the Service Support Tool direct connection method
- such as uploading/downloading backup data.
FirmID.mtb/VerFilter.mtb and .rec files
Starting with v3.21 of the Service Support Tool, two additional files have been added to the
installation package. These are FirmID.mtb and VerFilter.mtb. These files are used to maintain
lists of models and firmware/System Software for particular models. The models affected are
those that utilize the flashing method discussed in Section 6C and its subsections. These files are
updated via files distributed with CUSA System Software CD releases and data file postings on
e-Support. For details of these items refer to Section 6A.
imageRUNNER 2016/2020/2016i/2020i
When working with this machine family, a few items need to be noted.
First, this machine is flashed via a USB cable (connected to the USB port on the rear of the
device). When connecting this cable, Windows will show a New Hardware Found message and
start a wizard to find a driver. Click Cancel.
Second, after flashing any of the data files (System Software, BootROM, PCL, Language
(iR2016i/2020i only)) the device will show a ROM WRITE OK message (iR2016/2020 only).
At this point, recycle the device power. This will need to be done after flashing any of the
components. To continue flashing, place the device back into Download Mode.
The PCL data type (also listed as OPT32M) is for the optional PCL Printer Kit-J1 (iR2016/2020
only).The PCL data type (also listed as OPT16M) is for the Standard PCL Printer Kit-K1
(iR2016i/2020i only).

imageRUNNER 1023/1023N/1023F
When working with this machine family, a few items need to be noted.
First, this machine is flashed via a USB cable (connected to the USB port on the rear of the
device). When connecting this cable, Windows will show a New Hardware Found message and
start a wizard to find a driver. Click Cancel.
Second, after flashing any of the data files (System Software, BootROM, PCL, the device will
show a TURN OFF & ON message. At this point, recycle the device power. This will need to
be done after flashing any of the components. To continue flashing, place the device back into
Download Mode.
The PCL data type (also listed as OPT32M) is for the optional PCL Printer Kit-M1.
imageRUNNER 7086/7095/7105/7095 Printer (MEAP)
First, these units REQUIRE Service Support Tool v3.22 or later.
Second, earlier monochrome imageRUNNERs had two versions of BootROM and System
Software - C (Copier) and N (Network) - see note on page 7-19. Later monochrome
imageRUNNER units utilized one System Software file that worked with both C and N
BootROMs see imageRUNNER 2270/2870/3570/4570/5070/5570/6570/8070/85+/9070/105+
(MEAP) note on page 7-26. The C and N BootROMs acted as earlier ones did except when
flashing - see Common BootROM File note on page 7-24. The above captioned imageRUNNER
units are very similar to those later imageRUNNERs in terms of items that can be flashed with an
exception in that they have the ability to flash some accessories through the main body of the
copier itself.
The above captioned imageRUNNER units provide for flashing ONLY over a network interface.
There is NO parallel flashing capability. Network flashing differs from the previous monochrome
imageRUNNERs in that these units employ a Fixed IP Mode. This mode provides for a
pre-defined IP address (172.16.1.100) to be utilized when the unit is flashed. When this ability is
used, the end-user IP information is not lost - it is kept and is utilized again when the unit is
started up normally.
The above captioned imageRUNNER units also allow for flashing via a USB Memory Device.
This is detailed in a seperate note in this section as well as in Section 6C5. When preparing a USB
Memory Device for these models it is important to be aware that 3 entries will be displayed in the
version list - US_7105, US_7086 and US. First, the desired model should be selected and allowed
to copy files to the USB Memory Device (US_7105 or US_7086). After this is done, the US
option should be selected if it is desired to have accessory data copied to the USB Memory
Device (as described a little later in this note, some accessory data can be flashed through the
copier main body).
The DCON and RCON (not for iR7095 Printer) on these units are flashable as well. The RCON is
different between the imageRUNNER 7086 and the imageRUNNER 7095/7105. The RCON for
the imageRUNNER 7086 also controls the DADF on that unit, which is why that DADF is NOT
flashed seperately. As with previous Color imageRUNNER and imageRUNNER units that
allowed DCON and RCON flashing, the unit should be restarted in between flashing these items.
Since the system used for downloading on these units is different than the previous Color
imageRUNNER units or earlier monochrome imageRUNNER units, this is taken care of
automatically. The process used by these imageRUNNER units is the same as that used in the
later monochrome imageRUNNER units. This process is discussed in the next paragraph.
With most previous models, the Service Support Tool was used to flash items to the device. This
the data on the copier (HDD, FDIMM, etc.). The process used by the imageRUNNER devices

units require v3.22 or later of the Service Support Tool. The procedures to follow are described in
Section 6C.
Additional items that can be flashed on all of these units are Key, SDICT, Browser and TTS.
These are explained in separate notes.
A new feature with these devices is the ability to flash some accessory data through the main body
of the unit with this same system (direct Service Support Tool connection or USB Memory
Device). The Finisher-V1, Saddle Finisher-V2 and Document Insertion Unit-C1 data files can be
flashed in this manner. Their data will be transferred to the special temporary area of the HDD
and processed by the copier upon the next restart. Some accessories will NOT use this process of
flashing through the main body and will require either a direct connection with the Service
Support Tool and the Downloader PCB (DADF - imageRUNNER 7095/7105) or special
dedicated software - NOT the Service Support Tool (Professional Puncher-A1, Booklet
Trimmer-B1). Procedures for the accessories not using the Service Support Tool will be
documented in the appropriate Service Manuals or Technical Publications.
These units also have another flashable component in the form of MEAPCONT (MEAP
versions of the MEAP system may require updated versions of these applications so they should
be reinstalled from a System Software CD that matches the version of MEAPCONT in use.
