Flashing Canon's with a thumb drive

[CanonHPTech]

I have been using a CBM brand 2GB that I have been able to fit software for IRA5000, IRA9000, IR7105, IR3245, and IR5075 all on. I also tried a another no brand 8GB that didn't work at all.

make sure that all of the firmware was loaded for all of those models/ five machines on one 2gb stick is a little touchy

mmm , I am sure I "just" managed to fit IRA5051 series , IRC2380 series , IRA9000 series , IR32XX Series and IR50XX series on my older 4gb drive. Thats why I bought the 8gb. Well done for getting all those on a 2gb.

I use a 20 gb drive out of a 4570 in a usb caddy. It will take every machine's software and is in the laptop bag ready to upgrade any machine in a flash. Never had any problems at all.

[CanonSco]

Yes , that works too. Although lighter the better, I have just finished upgrading 100 32XX machines and having the stick on my keys means faster running round the machines.

If I may ask;

Which model are you refering too.

IR3245 series.

As we know theres also 3200,3220's

Someone could get confuse as to what models can be flashed by USB.

The IRC3200,3220 series was not one of them.

u can't flash a 3200/3220/2620 with a USB

[CanonSco]

u can't flash a 3200/3220/2620 with a USB - correct.


Yes , thought it would be obvious I was not flashing 3200's with a flash drive. Yes , I was talking about IR3245 series.

[SCREWTAPE]

Yes , I was talking about IR3245 series.

I figured that, but there are some techs who might not know as much as we know about models with this function.

Thanks for clearing that up.

No problem. Indecently, I have another 12 or so 3245's to do tomorrow up to Ver 42.98.....
