This is what the TOOL is for>>>
When a problem on the printer occurs and an error code is displayed, effectively disabling the printer, this
service tool allows you to bypass the error and aid in troubleshooting. Under the above conditions, the
printer becomes disabled and cannot be flashed with firmware using the traditional methods. The L Printer
Tool allows you to “bypass” the error condition which allows you to update the printer with firmware. This
L Printer Tool also allows you to retrieve Status Print and Print Inf files which also allows you to better
evaluate certain problems.

cheers,

So is the 'L Printer Service Tool' an update of Canon's low level firmware upgrade tool used for the Canon w7200/7250 printers? Or is it only for the iPF machines? I had the Canon tech use this following recently on one of my 7200's - Supplementary 7200 service update 'QJF-12E-02010_Troubleshooting Procedures for Firmware Upgrades', the PDF file / via acrobat prof conversion to rtf /says this:
SUBJECT Troubleshooting Procedures for Firmware Upgrades

1. DETAILS
We are presenting these troubleshooting procedures in the event that the firmware upgrade is not performed properly due to a power outage or other cause when using the Firmware Upgrade Tool (CNWFUT01.exe).
There are three troubleshooting procedures separated into two cases based on the display message after the power is turned on again when a problem occurs.
a. When the controller stops operating after displaying "Initializing...." (4 periods):
Download the firmware again.


b. When the controller stops operating before displaying "Initializing... " (3 periods):
b-1. Recover using the Firmware Recovery Tool: AY3-4207-000 (com_fut.exe).
b-2. Replace the system controller, and then download the latest firmware again.



*The following are uploaded to QISS:
- Firmware Recovery Tool
QISS Ref.No. RQ-T01-J50-720004-00
AY3-4207-000: Firmware Recovery Tool: com_fut exe


- Firmware for “Firmware Recovery Tool”
QISS Ref.No. RQ-T01-J50-720005-00
AY3-4208-000: SYSTEM FIRMVer200 hex"


I have been trying to get hold of this tool and firmware, as my other 7200 has a faulty power supply and has now corrupted its base firmware stopping at initialising with no periods after. This was where the other one was when the Canon tech recovered it. The SYSTEM FIRMVer200 hex is a smaller file than the hex version of the std FW. Since I tried to write the hex version of the std file using a null modem cable, but the file was too large and stopped before the end. The Canon tech used the com_fut with its firmware and then over-wrote it again with the std firmware via usb - as stated in the update PDF. The printer then started and ran perfect.


So I would like to get hold of:

Firmware Recovery Tool
QISS Ref.No. RQ-T01-J50-720004-00
AY3-4207-000: Firmware Recovery Tool: com_fut exe

- Firmware for “Firmware Recovery Tool”
QISS Ref.No. RQ-T01-J50-720005-00
AY3-4208-000: SYSTEM FIRMVer200 hex"


All help appreciated :-)


I have all the Canon service update PDF's for 7200/7250 - if anyone wants them PM me. ;-)

I have tried to find this DL on Canon U.S. site, Canon E support?? Do you have to register? I can't see how I could get through this from NZ. Any chance of posting a copy of this somewhere for the newbies overseas to DL?

Needed to upgrade firmware on iPF5000.

Ken

check your PM

L Printer Service tool DL site please ;-)
