    To download firmware you need an account on my-ricoh.com.

    Take an SD-Card (<1GB) and create a folder called ROMDATA in the root. Put the firmware files in that folder.

    Place the SC-Card in the second slot and switch the machine on and select which parts you want to upgrade.

        Yes, of course you have to unzip the files, and by my calculations, the difference between 1Gb and 2Gb is approx. 1Gb!

          The firmware files will be self-extracting executables, you can run an unzip program (best use 7zip for this) on them or run them one by one. Get an SD card, format it and create the folder "romdata" and inside add each firmware you downloaded. You should have what looks like:

          \
          romdata
          DXXXXXXXX
          DXXXXXXXX.exe or DXXXXXXXX.fwu
          RDXXXXXXX.doc
          readme.txt

            You can also update the firmware by the webinterface.

              So one stupid question...if I (random dude working used machines with for use parts) send a request on my-ricoh.com it will be denied emediately...I suppose I'd have to pay to Ricoh for software?
              Gears,springs,clutches,sliders,connectors and electronics...who on earth can tell what's wrong with it?

                You will have to be a certified Ricoh dealer. If that's the case access to all documentation and firmware is free.

                  Or you could pay ME and I could get it for you but I provide absolutely NO support on it. Once you buy it you're on your own. Email me at Paul@justmanuals.com if interested.
