Kyocera ecosys p3045 p3145 Firmware

[techsuper]

Hello, anyone have any idea how to get firmware for these models?

The support vendor we use say that they are certified Copystar.
But they stated they are in a "gray area for Kyocera", whatever that means, and have no idea how to get the FW.

Searching for Copystar, they are part of Kyocera as of June of '23.
The Kyocera EWS doesn't have any FW update option; the Kyocera website doesn't show any FW update files or software to accomplish it.
Web searches yield no results.
Therefore, I assume it's for Kyocera dealers only?

Any help or suggestions is GREATLY appreciated...
best regards, brent

Hello, thank you for the reply.
2019 or 2021 mostly.

Wow do I feel like a heel.
WHY didn't i See Software / FirmwareUpgradePackage on the Website?
My vendor should have known also.

Now, If i can only figure out how to do it.
Wouldn't be good if i bricked one......

Really confused, do you update Firmware and HyPAS on these models?
(HP was so much easier)

thank you kindly,

Best way is to copy the firmware to a USB pen drive.

Thank you so much for the replies. I went back to see if I could find some more information - ALMOST pulled my hair out!
I went back to Kyoceradocumentsolutions Global and Americas and the FW update package isn't shown!
I swapped back to a different SSD, looked at the browser history. The files are at kyoceradocumentsolutions.eu/en.
So, are the files safe using from the EU, or am I opening up a can of worms?
If the files are ok, what isn't explained is - what brand of drive works best/what size of a drive/what format (FAT, FAT32, NTFS, ....etc).
I assume just the appropriate FWP file alone on the root folder at power on.

Yes that firmware will be fine. You can use pretty much any USB pen drive, nothing too large, 8GB formatted to FAT32.

As you say copy the files to the root of the pen & power on, should only take a couple of minutes.
