Kyocera FS-C5030n Firmware Update

Re: Kyocera FS-C5030n Firmware Update

I don't remember off the top of my head what the size of card was that I put in the slot, but I do remember that absolutely nothing happened when I did put the card in.

The arrow buttons on my printer do not do anything, so unless the printer kicks in and starts reading the card automatically I am not sure how I am supposed to proceed.

When you put the card in, did you have to do anything at all?

Shawn, did you have the CF formatted in a Kyocera printer before adding the firmware files? Did you have the files in a folder on the CF root directory? The printer needs to be powered off when you insert the CF card. After you power it on, the printer will automatically update the firmware (if it is installed correctly on the CF).

Actually my cf card is totally blank, not formatted, nothing, when I put it into the Kyocera printer with the power off. If I understand the directions, I need the Kyocera to format the card for me and as none of the buttons on the printer do anything, I do not know how to get the printer to format the card so that I can add the files to it.

I do have the files needed saved on my computer, I have just been waiting to figure out how to get the printer to format the card, so that I can properly add the files to the card.

I was expecting, that when I put a blank card into the slot and turn the printer on, that it would instantly start to format the card, but nothing at all happens.

Ideas?

Maybe I am overthinking this?

Do you have access to another Kyocera printer? You will need to format the card in a working Kyocera printer before you can properly load the firmware files. Once you locate a working Kyocera, let us know the model # and I can try to give you some directions on how to format...

Re: Kyocera FS-C5030n Firmware Update

So I have found this Kyocera printing enabling big heavy box called Ecosys FS-C5020N. It makes awesome noises and seems to know what it's doing.

What I don't have is the original CS Card. The wonderful printer is in "Supervisor mode parallel waiting"...


So how do we do dis?


How much is new firmware and new card?


I ordered a new 4GB CS card from the Market of Amazon. Can I set it all up on my PC or do I need a working Kyocera Printer or what?

Thanks in advance for pointing me into the right direction. I have read through some stuff, but time is of the essence here. Need to get those labels printed. Moo-ooh!

Peace out ppl!

Hi Paul
What do you charge for the firmware?

I talked to my local rep and he has to get back to me about emailing me the firmware 'they had never had that request before', so I have no idea what that is going to come in at, so figured since you were kind enough to answer me, I would like to ask how much.

thank you

if your rep has no idea what you are talking about..... time for a new rep... i say this because if the firmware isn't the correct firmware, or installed correctly. you can brick the copier. afterwards it makes a very big paper weight. i recommend calling a kyocera tech.
