III. Preparation and SST installation
3.1 PC specifications
To use SST, prepare a PC that meets the specifications below.
Architecture: IBM PC/AT compatible
CPU: Celeron with 400 MHz or higher
Main memory: 64 MB or greater (depends on OS)
Disk space: 400 MB or greater
(Disk space requirement varies depending on the number of firmware products
to register.)
Display resolution: SVGA (800 by 600 pixels) or higher
Number of colors: 32000 (16 bit) or greater
Parallel port: Bi-Centronics (IEEE 1284) ECP mode support is required.
Serial port: RS-232C (D-sub 9-pin connector)
USB port: USB 1.1
Network interface: 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) TCP/IP protocol
OS: Windows 98/98SE, NT4.0 Workstation, 2000 Professional, XP
Windows NT cannot be used with iR1600/2000 Series because these copiers connect
to a main unit via USB cable but the OS do not support USB.
Note that Windows Me is not applicable regardless of the copier models.
PC settings
Points to check on using high-speed mode during the parallel connection to IR Series.
Click on “Control Panel” - & gt; “System” - & gt; “Device Manager”, and make sure that the
indication, “ECP Printer Port (LPT1)” is displayed at parallel port.
With regard to property resource of LPT1, check to make sure that value is indicated in
each item of I/O range, Request for Interrupt, or DMA. Furthermore, the message, “No
competition” is displayed in the competitive device sections.
If the above-mentioned settings are not made, perform the BIOS setting of PC.
Generally, most of PCs go into the BIOS setting mode by pressing a function key such as “F1”
at their boot-up. The setting for parallel port is mostly included in the item of “Advanced
Setting”.
Select “ECP” for operation mode of parallel port.
Since DMA is used for high-speed mode of SST, if there is a selection to use DMA in the BIOS
setting, select “Yes (use)”, and set up the CH No. of DMA.
Each proper value of I/O address, IRQ, and DMA differs depending on the PC environment;
thus, we are unable to specify the value. The method to change the BIOS setting also differs
depending on PC, so refer to each Instruction Manual for procedure.

3.2 Connection Cables
SST uses 5 types of connection cables. Select the cables fit for the device to work on
with SST. The cable types are listed below with the target devices.
Parallel cable:
USB-Parallel Cable:
Network cable:
USB cable:
Downloader PCB:
CLC/CP/GP, iR (iR1600/2000 excluded)
CLC/CP/GP/ iR products equipped with the parallel port (For
Widows 2000/XP/98 series only)
iR (iR1600/2000 excluded)/iRC
iR1600/2000
Accessories
Parallel cable
Prepare a parallel cable that meets the IEEE 1284 standard (with the indication of “IEEE Std
1284-1994 compliant”). The connector on the PC side must be the D-sub 25-pin connector
(IEEE 1284-A connector) and that on the device side must be the Amphenol type full-pitch 36pin connector (IEEE 1284-B connector), which are the most generally used connectors.
The cable is desired to be as short as possible provided that connection is not hindered (so as
to avoid malfunctions induced by rfi).
Use of a cable that is not up to the IEEE 1284 standard may result in malfunctions due to rfi.
USB Parallel Adapter (Parts Number:FY9-4154-000)
Be sure to prepare the USB parallel adapter, the part No. FY9-4154-000 USB-Parallel Cable.
For the setup procedure, refer to “3.4 Installing the driver for the USB-Parallel Adapter ”.
Network cable
Prepare a network cable of category 5, a cross cable with twisted pairs of wires.
The cable is desired to be as short as possible provided that connection is not hindered.
USB cable
Prepare a USB cable that meets the standard. Use of a cable that is not up to the standard
may result in malfunctions due to rfi.
The cable is desired to be as short as possible provided that connection is not hindered
Downloader PCB (Parts Number:FY9-2034-000)
To download firmware for accessories, signal must be supplied from external to control
operation of the CPU. The downloader PCB incorporates a circuit for the purpose. The
download PCB comes with an RS-232C cable for connecting to the PC. This is a straight cable.
Use of a cross cable instead hinders communication and results in SST error.
The RS-232C cable connector is the D-sub 9-pin connector, which is in general use for PCs. If
the connector on your PC is a 25-pin connector, use an adapter available in the market.

4.5 Connect to the iR Products (iR1600/2000 Excluded)
4.5.1. Outline
For iR products, SST can provide the following services:
Firmware downloading
Backup data uploading
Backup data downloading
Backup system recovering

To connect SST, the copier must be set to download mode. There are two modes of
download for iR products:
Normal mode (download in service mode)
Safe mode (download by boot ROM)
Differences of functions available in the two modes of download are described below.

The download control program for normal mode is incorporated in the system software.
Since the copier must be in service mode to call the program, you cannot start download in
normal mode if the copier cannot be started. By contrast, the download control program for
safe mode is saved in the boot ROM and you can start download in safe mode when the
system software is not able to start or after replacing the HD with the service part.
MEAP machine enables to temporarily save MEAP application software in safe mode during
the HD Format.
For iRC Series and MEAP-support iR machine, networks are available even while they are in
safe mode.
Uploading of SRAMIMG is available in safe mode only.
With iR3250, of which boot ROM does not implement the download control program,
download is possible only in normal mode.
With the iR products, the following interfaces are usable:
Bidirectional Centronics (IEEE1284 ECP mode)
Network (TCP/IP)
* iRC Series is possible for Network only.
IV-42
Canon
To establish network connection, special setting is necessary on both the copier and the PC.
However, network connection enables faster data transfer than does bidirectional Centronics
connection, thereby saving download time.
With bidirectional Centronics connection, an option of standard-speed or high-speed mode is
provided on Windows 98, and 98SE. Note that operations in high-speed mode depend on
hardware(chip set) of the PC and system configuration of the PC, and are not always normal
on some PCs. If there is any problem, select standard -speed mode. On Windows
NT/2000/XP, only standard -speed mode is available.
For bidirectional Centronics connection, use an IEEE1284 compliant cable with the indication
of it. Select short cable as far as there is no obstacle to work. Use of a non-compliant cable
or long cable may result in error due to rfi, etc. during the use of SST.
For network connection, use a cross cable consisting of twisted pairs of wires of category 5,
and connect PC to the device directly.
iRC Series and MEAP-support iR machine includes Network Port as standard equipment.
Since servicing fixed IP address is set up by turning ON the main power while pressing the
numeric keypad “1” and “7” at the same time, there is no need to change the IP address of the
main unit at download mode (normal mode) from service mode.
In addition, the servicing fixed IP address is automatically set up even if these machines start
up in safe mode. The servicing fixed IP address is as follows in all cases:
172.16.1.100
Be sure to set up IP address of a servicing PC as shown below:
IP address: 172.16.1.160
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
With iRC Series, it is possible to download the firmware of its main unit (reader and printer
units) from service PC via Ethernet (Network).
Basically, for adding the PDL functions, only add BootROM, and UFR board. You do not need
to download firmware for PDL.

Different partitions can be formatted in different modes of download.
In normal mode, the data area and work area can be formatted. In safe mode, the system
area can be formatted. The download control program for normal mode is incorporated in
the system software, which is saved in the system area. Formatting an area erases all the
files in that area. Therefore, formatting the system area or the entire HD including the
system area is possible only in safe mode, but not in normal mode.
Note that the HDs supplied as service parts are not initialized, so after installing one on a
copier, you must format the entire disk before downloading any firmware.

4.6 Connect to the iR1600/2000 Series
4.6.1. Outline
Since the iR1600/2000 Series copiers store firmware on their flash ROM (DIMM), the
firmware can be upgraded by downloads.
This series copiers use the USB for the download interface. Because of this, the PC OSes
for firmware download for the machines are limited to Windows 98, 98SE, 2000, and XP.
Note that Windows 95 and NT are inapplicable because these OSes do not support the USB.
Of iR16000/2000, the USB connector for download is the USB port located on the image
processor board. The USB port on the accessory printer board cannot be used for firmware
download.
On a USB interface, Copiers of this series are recognized as devices of a group called the
USB printer class. In order to communicate with a device of the USB printer class, a PC
uses a special driver called the USB printer class driver. This special driver is incorporated in
Windows 2000 and XP, but not in Windows 98/98SE. Therefore, when connecting SST on a
