Software Mismatch Error
technician is trying to flash a machine with a N version of system software
and there is a C version Boot ROM installed on the main controller board.
Using SST
You cannot flash a C Boot ROM chip to a N Boot ROM chip, or vice verse.
You must physically replace the Boot ROM chip.
When registering firmware for the iRC3220 there is
no distinction between N or C version in the Service Support Tool. When you flash the C3220 simply select 'BOOT'
imageRUNNER 3025 / 3030 / 3035 / 3045 / 5050 / 5055 / 5065 / 5075 / 3225 / 3230 / 3235 / 3245, Color imageRUNNER C2550 / C2880 / C3080 / C3380 / C3480 / C4080 / C4580 / C5180 / C5185, imagePRESS C1 / C1+ / C7000
On these devices you no longer need to install an "N" Boot ROM to enable printing. These devices will always have a 'C' Boot ROM listed.
Print kits are enabled through an LMS license key and, once registered, will enable the device to print.
You can confirm which PDL's are supported on your device by pressing the 'Counter Check' button on the control panel. Once in the counter check screen, select the 'Device Confirguration' button on the LCD. Scroll down to the installed options and you will see which PDL's the device supports. You will see either UFRII, PCL and/or PS if those print kits have been registered.
NOTE: If you have an external RIP, such as an imagePASS J1/H1, colorPASS GX-100 or imagePRESS T1/Q1, you will not have any PDLs listed on the copier because there are no internal print kits installed on the device. In this case printing is controlled by the external RIP and you will still use the 'C' Boot ROM.

hahahaha!!! if you work from canon before you should know this...(disappointed)
by the way, the title of the topic is ir8500 not ir3220 or whatoever

mystery procedure....
for these ir series, 2200/2800/3300, 5000/5000d/6000, 7200/8500/105 i am using a ir5000S machine, system software and SST of course. I can use the 5000S mainboard to ir5000 or d just for flashing the C bootrom to N. You have notice that the ir5000S main board has two bootrom slots. The right side is the original bootrom and the other side is vacant.
Just copy the ir8500 boot N prg to ir5000 directory. then run the SST, select ir5000, select system N, select boot then follow the procedure on the screen..
would it work...probably...do I care...not really. I have an abundance of all these print kits which are all out dated anyway.
Accidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned.
