Firmware Template

Use the firmware template to update the firmware of the devices.

To use the firmware template, the access accounts of SNMP, Device Administrator, and SDK/J are required. The template may not be executed properly when the access accounts are not configured.

  1. Click [Configuration] → [Configuration Templates] → [Firmware].

  2. Click [Add].

  3. Enter the [Template Name] and [Description].

The security group items are displayed when the group restriction function is enabled in the security settings, and you can restrict the device group to be specified for the template target.

For the security group context, refer to Configure Group Restrictions.

  1. Specify the software selection method.

    • Downloads the firmware from the Ricoh server

      The firmware can be updated to the latest version supported by the device.

      The device model is not specified, and the firmware will not be downloaded at the time of template creation. Instead, the device model is sent to the RICOH Software Server, and the firmware is downloaded whenever the template is applied to a specific MFP. As a result, each different model may receive different firmware from the RICOH Software Server. In this case, the firmware license agreement will be a general binding agreement. In addition, partial firmware upgrades are not possible using this method; use local firmware package upgrades instead.

    • Use File in Repository

      Select the firmware from the repository. Select the firmware to be used for updating from the list.

    • Upload New File to Repository

      This method is used only to update custom-made firmware by RICOH and is not normally used.

      Uploads the firmware to the repository. Select the uploaded firmware from the list.

  1. Click [OK].

To execute a template, add the template to a task first. For details, refer to Register a Template to a Task.
