What tyoe of SD card I need to update a MP2851 ? Manual doesn't say

[rapidocument]

I have the firmware files to update a Ricoh MP2851 and I'm after a SD card for this,
the service manual doesnt mention characteristics for this card, I've already read that
for old ricohs you use a SD of 128Mb, however this kind of old stuff is hard to get by,
and I dont know if its the same needed for this newer ricohs,

Thanks for your answers.

TONS of threads on this topic.
I don't know the specific size limit. I think it may be 2Gb, but I generally stick to 1Gb and smaller

2GB cards are not all the same. I have had machines that were supposed to work with 2GB cards that would work with manufacturer's 2GB card and fail with a different one. Like Sandy, I like to stick to 1 GB cards or 512 MB. If you have troble getting 1GB cards, use a utility such as MiniTool Partition Manager to re partition a larger one. MiniTool Partition Manager

Easier away for (all) SD-Cards....put in in slot 2...then on panel systemsetting,admintools,backuptools addressbook,format.....and you have a function sd-card.

One major problem. SD card must be inserted into slot 2, service slot, with power off. If the size of the SD card is too large, the MFP will error when you turn power on.

Recommended SD card format software is the Panasonic SD card format utility for cards to be used for firmware updates.

Hi,

We have used these Transcend 2gb SD cards for years with Ricoh MFP's (SDHC card's are not supported.)

Firmware files should be stored in \romdata\ folder and never copier models support also firmware packages, those files goes in to \package\ folder.

Spoton comment from Slimslob, it has always worked for me with the Panasonic. I have a 16gig card that's been partitioned with 4gig space that use for my machines firmware updates. It works perfectly.

are difficult to find, I bought a 2gb on amazon, another 1gb I recovered from an old car navigator that I threw away, format with windows, create "romdata" folder with the file inside, and use slot 2 , otherwise try if it is supported by "ricoh firmware update tools" that you find with google, so you give us feedback if it is supported

I've always used a basic 2gd sd card not hd etc I've never had a problem don't use remotely it's rubbish don't for files must be extended and files need to put in folder called romdata
