Using the IMCU for Maintenance: Bulk Upgrade

You can use the check mark to select all the devices listed by a given agent segment. But do so only if they all

are the same type of print server (interface firmware component, such as G22, G32, or K92) and all have the same password.

This (European) minus sign deselects all the devices listed by a given agent segment.

When you continue with “Next”, the procedure is the same as described for upgrading single servers, starting with step10 on page 214.
