8.1. Updating Firmware

The Xerox FS 3270 firmware (complete firmware) may be updated either via the coax line or via centronics input port. For further in formation please contact your i-data distributor.

If errors are detected, the downloading will be terminated and an error message will be printed if possible. If serious errors occur during programming, the firmware has to be downloaded via the share port.

The downloading of firmware is considered complete if no data is received within 30 seconds. The interface will then make a soft re set.

NOTE:

In case of damaged FLASH PROM, try the following procedure:

Boot Download of firmware:

1.Turn the power off

2.Place the rotary switch in the “B” position

3.Turn the power on and note that the READY LED is lit

4.Download the boot firmware (Syntax: “Copy 140.xxx.1 /b”)

5.Download the new firmware. When download is completed and the FLASH PROM is programmed, the LED will start flashing

6.Turn off the power and set the rotary switch in a position different from “A”, “B” or “T” before turning on the power again.
