Service Support Tool User Manual

2 - Introduction and Description:

The Service Support Tool provides a graphical interface between the PC and the copier. Itprovides two main functions:

• Flash upgrade FDIMM firmware, BootROM, System Software, RUI, Language, G3 Fax and format the HD in Canon copiers (not all items possible with all machines)

• Backup\Restore RAM data

NOTE : Please refer to the Device Specific Notes section for details on how the Service SupportTool interacts with the different machines supported.

Flash Upgrade FunctionThe current and future line of both Canon Digital B&W and Color Laser Copiers will containFlash Dual In-Line Memory Modules (FDIMMs). Each of these modules (number, function, andlocation depends on the particular copier model) contain firmware providing machine specificfunctions and instructions. As such, each module can be updated in the field using the ServiceSupport Tool as bug fixes and or new features are added to the copier. Upgrading the modules isknown as Flashing.

Additionally, certain models will have the functionality of being able to also have the BootROMsflashed with this tool as well as downloading System Software, the RUI and Language Files to aHard Drive. Some models will also need this tool to perform HD formatting on new, blank,service part Hard Drives.

Backup/Restore Ram DataEach copier is adjusted at the factory, and its adjustment values are recorded on the service label.If replacing any PCBs with FDIMMs attached or initializing RAM, the corresponding values willbe affected. Using the Service Support Tool a backup file can be created and saved on the PC.Once the PCB has been replaced, the RAM backup file can then be restored to the copier, and itsfactory setting restored. Various other user settings stored on these PCBs may also be backed upand restored when required. Note: It is unnecessary to backup\restore RAM data when upgradingFirmware.

Obtaining Software FilesSoftware files may be available by different means, such as e-Support or CD.

From e-Support, files will be collected into a self-extracting data file. This data file will need to beexpanded. The default location for this expansion is the C:\ServTool\NewRom folder.

If downloading more than one data file, DO NOT EXTRACT ALL OF THE DATA FILES ATONCE. Extract one data file set (which will now be in the NewRom folder), register that data,then proceed with the next file.

Please refer to the Device Specific Notes section for the number and extensions of files for eachmachine and data type.

4 - Installation/Setup Instructions:

Starting with version 1.41 of the Service Support Tool, there are now two installer packagesavailable. One is the same as in previous versions and the other is targeted for Windows 98. Thereason behind this is the third party USB driver that is included. For certain machines (such as theimageRUNNER 2000), certain components will need to be flashed via USB. The standard USBPrint driver that comes with Windows 98 (1st or 2nd editions) was not acceptable for use with theService Support Tool. The USB Print driver of Windows 2000 was acceptable. To allow flashingvia USB under Windows 98, Canon has licensed and included a third party USB driver. Underterms of the third party license, Canon must track the whereabouts of all instances of this driver.Upon contract termination with the third party, all instances of the driver MUST be deleted.

To enable the proper tracking (so that notification may be sent out when deletion is required),Canon will NOT post the version of the Service Support Tool with the USB driver to e-Support.The only way to receive this version is by CD distribution (i.e. System Software CD distributionfor the imageRUNNER 1600/2000). CDs distributed for units that require USB flashing will havethis version of the Service Support Tool included. Again, this version must be tracked, so it shouldnot be installed on computers that do not deal with machines enabled for USB flashing. Also, asCanon will not post this version on the Internet, Dealerships also may NOT redistribute thisversion internally. Remember, when the third party contract is terminated, Canon will notify alldealerships who have received CD distributions and instruct them to delete all instances of theUSB driver.

There will be a second installer for the Service Support Tool. This installer is the same as the otherversion except it does not include the USB driver. This version will be posted to e-Support andmay be redistributed internally at a dealership. This version will work for all machines exceptthose that require USB flashing and will be flashed from PCs running Windows 98. This versionwill allow Windows 2000 PCs to flash via USB.

The two versions may be distinguished by whether there is a folder named ‘inf’ in the installed‘ServiceSupportTool’ folder. If the ‘inf’ folder exists, then this was an installation of the thirdparty USB driver version.

NOTE : The installer will determine which version of Windows is running. Each installer willwork for Windows 9.x/NT/2000. USB capabilities are limited to Windows 98 (with the third partydriver version) and Windows 2000 - Windows 95 and Windows NT do not support USB.Installation will proceed the same for each as detailed below:

1. Download the self-extracting file (PSST141E.exe) from e-Support or copy it from a CD.2. Create a folder on the hard drive and place the self-extracting file inside it.3. Double click on the self-extracting file and click on the OK button to start extraction.4. Three files (bpchost.CAB, setup.exe, Setup.lst) will be extracted into the same folder as where

the self-extracting file is located.

6B-2 : Downloading/Uploading Data - General

Service Support Tool User Manual

When installing the Service Support Tool, the default is set to Low-Speed. This will need to bechanged to High-Speed, if possible. In some cases, the combination of computer and OperatingSystem may make High-Speed impossible. In certain cases, the Service Support Tool will be ableto detect this and will not allow High-Speed to be chosen. This is also the case with Windows NTand 2000 – High-Speed will NOT be a selectable option (this is an OS limitation). In these cases,the mode cannot be changed and the screen will appear as follows:

Some firmware files/machines will allow for Network Downloading (via TCP/IP) in addition toparallel downloading. Network downloading capability will be listed in the Device Specific Notessection as well as under the file types that may support it. The connection for Networkdownloading should be made with a Cross-Over Ethernet cable. This is a special Ethernet cablemade to connect two devices only. When utilizing Network downloading, the computer and thedevice must employ TCP/IP addresses that are of the same segment. The easiest way toaccomplish this is by changing the device TCP/IP address to be the same as the computer TCP/IPaddress – except for the last number. For example – if the computer is 146.184.129.127, make thedevice 146.184.129.128. Utilize the same Subnet Mask and Gateway as listed on the computer.NOTE : Before making any changes to the network configuration of an installed machine, printout a configuration page so that there is a record of the original settings. After flashing, return themachine to those original settings.

The information for the computer can be found under the TCP/IP Properties, listed in ControlPanels -> Network (Windows 9.x), Control Panels -> Network -> Protocols (Windows NT) orControl Panels -> Network and Dial-up Connections -> appropriate connection document(Windows 2000).

NOTE : Network Downloading is only available if the machine has entered Download Modethrough Service Mode. This is the only time that the network protocols will be active fordownloading.

Downloading/Uploading Data - General : 6B-3

Service Support Tool User Manual

When utilizing Network Downloading, the TCP/IP address of the target device will be displayedin the upper right hand corner as shown below:

During the download procedure (which is detailed in the following sections), a display as followswill be presented:

At the bottom of this display, is a counter showing Time Remaining for processing of the data filejust transferred to the machine. In both High Speed and Low Speed modes, this counter shouldfunction. It has been observed that the initial starting value may not be accurate. Therefore thecountdown may proceed into negative numbers, but more probable is the countdown stoppingprior to reaching zero.

It is possible on some machines to perform this function while connected with a Network cableinstead of a parallel one. This changes some of the screens at the beginning and gives a different“clean up” screen at the end. These images will be shown after the ones for the parallel connectionin the appropriate areas of this section.

Some machines will have Hard Drives (Service Parts) provided blank. In this case, there will bean HDFormat data file that can be used with this Tool to prepare the HD for the System Softwareinstallation.

As mentioned in the Device Specific Notes section, there are different methods for gettingmachines into a download mode to accept data. For the devices supporting the HDFormat files,there are two methods. In the Device Specific Notes section, these are referred to as DownloadModes B (accessed within Service Mode on the device) and C (holding down 2 & 8 whilepowering on the device). Each mode allows a different level of access to the HD using HDFormat.Mode B allows limited access and can only format certain partitions – it does not allow for acomplete format of the drive. Mode C allows for a complete format, but can only be done whenconnected via a parallel cable – the network interface is NOT enabled in Mode C, only in ModeB. Screenshots to account for both modes will be shown.

In this case, the proper HDFormat file needs to be selected as shown below:

A : Move the small switch next to the appropriate copier parallel port to the position marked“LOAD”. Turn on the copier. The copier display remains unlit (for some models). NOTE : Someunits have multiple parallel ports – confirm that the proper one is being used.

B : Power on machine. Enter Service Mode. Enter Copier -> Function -> System. SelectDownload and hit OK.

C : Power on the machine while holding down the 2 and 8 buttons. Hold 2 and 8 until “DownloadMode” is indicated on the display LCD. NOTE : Network flashing (even if supported) is NOTavailable in this mode as the network functions of the controller have not been activated at thisearly startup stage.

D : Press the “Additional Functions” key, followed by the “# (ID)” key to enter Service Mode.Use the arrow keys on the control panel to select “#11 DOWNLOAD”. Press the ‘OK’ button onthe Control Panel to place the unit into download mode.

imageRUNNER 5000 (old Main Controller) BootROM

There are some extra steps required for flashing an imageRUNNER 5000 BootROM. A secondFDIMM is needed to perform this function. Make sure the machine is powered off. Place thisFDIMM (the FDIMM to be upgraded) into slot J1009 on the Main Controller PCB. The currentBootROM will be (and should now remain) in slot J1010. Start the Download Mode as indicatedabove. Utilize the Service Support Tool to update the BootROM as described in that section ofthis manual. Power off the machine. Remove the FDIMM from slot J1010. Move the FDIMMfrom slot J1009 to slot J1010 to complete the update. The FDIMM that is removed from J1010may be used as the FDIMM for slot J1009 in another update sequence.

imageRUNNER 5000 (old Main Controller) Low Speed Mode

If it is necessary to communicate with the imageRUNNER 5000 in Low Speed mode, then theimageRUNNER 5000 should be started in Download Mode (method C above) for all items.

imageRUNNER 2200/2800/3300/5000/5000i/6000/7200/85/8500/105 Starting in DownloadMode instead of Normal

If the imageRUNNER starts in Download Mode (without holding the keys as in method C above)instead of Normal Mode, it will be necessary to redo installation starting with the HD Format andreinstalling System Software and RUI, if necessary.

Copier vs. Network (N) System Software/BootROM (imageRUNNER 2200/2800/3300/5000(new Main Controller)/6000/7200/85/8500/105)

The above captioned imageRUNNERs ship initially as Copier-only models and need to beupgraded with an appropriate Printer Kit to add Network Printer functionality. Part of this processis the physical replacement of the original BootROM with a Network enabled BootROM(designated with an ‘N’ at the end of the version). Also, a Network version of System Softwaremust be installed. When flash files are registered in the Service Support Tool, they will be registered under themodel name (i.e. iR8500) if they are Copier-only files (such as for the BootROM or SystemSoftware) or files common to both versions (such as the RUI, HD Format and Language). ForNetwork versions of the BootROM and System Software, they will be registered under the modelname with an ‘N’ appended to the end (i.e. iR8500N). While the BootROM and System Software can be updated in the imageRUNNER, they can only

Device Specific Notes : 7-5

Service Support Tool User Manual

be updated with files of the same type (with or without an ‘N’) and BootROM and SystemSoftware must match for the imageRUNNER to operate – with one exception. In the process ofperforming a Network upgrade, the BootROM should be replaced first. The ‘N’ BootROM willsupport an imageRUNNER starting with Copier System Software. This is done to allow use of theimageRUNNER (in Copier-only mode) if there is a wait time until the System Software can beinstalled. Once the Network System Software is installed, the update is complete. Once animageRUNNER has a matched set of BootROM and System Software, both can be flashed in theimageRUNNER to newer versions of the same type (with or without ‘N’).NOTE : If a Copier-only BootROM is installed in an imageRUNNER with Network SystemSoftware already installed, an E677 error will be displayed on startup. Despite the ‘N’ BootROM supporting an imageRUNNER starting with Copier System Software,the ‘N’ BootROM will NOT support flashing Copier System Software (only flashing of NetworkSystem Software) – again with one exception. Some imageRUNNER models support internal andexternal controllers (i.e. imageRUNNER 8500 with Printer Kit-B3 (Internal) and the imagePASS-M1 (External)). When Printer Kit-B3 is used, the system works as previously described.However, when the imagePASS-M1 is used, the system is a little different. To allow for an“upgrade” to the imagePASS from a unit with Printer Kit-B3 already installed, there is a methodto allow an ‘N’ BootROM (which would have been installed with the Printer Kit-B3) to permitthe flashing of Copier System Software onto the imageRUNNER. This is achieved with acombination of updated firmware files (the flash files for the Service Support Tool) and anupdated Service Support Tool application (v1.32 or later).

Color imageRUNNER C2050 vs Color imageRUNNER C2058

There are several differences between the Color imageRUNNER C2050 and the ColorimageRUNNER C2058. A main one is the Printer Board. The Color imageRUNNER C2050introduced the Color Network Printer Board-A1 and the Color imageRUNNER C2058 introducesthe Color Network Printer Board-B1. The Color Network Printer Board-B1 may also be used inthe Color imageRUNNER C2050, if the Color imageRUNNER C2050 firmware values (D-CON/R-CON/S-CON) are at the proper level. With respect to the two models, the R-CON and S-CONare the same, so the files are common to both models – even though they may register in theService Support Tool under one model or the other. The D-CONs, however, are unique to eachmodel. This is due to some of the other differences between a Color imageRUNNER C2050 and aColor imageRUNNER C2058. Always make sure that the proper D-CON file is being utilized.Under the Service Support Tool, the files for a Color imageRUNNER C2050 register underiR_C2100 and the files for a Color imageRUNNER C2058 register under iR_C2105.For each model, there will be separate D-CON files. All older R-CON and S-CON files registeredunder iR_C2100 (for the Color imageRUNNER C2050). Currently, newer R-CON files continueto be registered under iR_C2100 while newer S-CON files are registered under iR_C2105. At thepresent time, regardless of where the R-CON and S-CON files are registered, they may be used onboth models. Where the files are registered, as well as interoperability, may change in the future.

imageRUNNER 1600/2000 USB Flashing

There are two USB connectors on the imageRUNNER 1600/2000 models. One is external (on theoptional Printer Board) and is ONLY for USB printing. The USB connector for flashing is on theIP PCB and is J3/J203. The small rectangular plate on the rear of the unit must be removed toaccess this connector. This connector is also used for the optional Ethernet board to plug into.Therefore, if the Ethernet board is installed, there will already be a USB cable attached to J3/J203.This cable must be removed from J3/J203 so that the USB cable that will be used for flashing maybe installed. The USB cable from the Ethernet board should be reinstalled after flashing iscomplete.During the flashing process, there will be a time when the lights on the Control Panel are turnedon and the imageRUNNER will reboot itself. This is normal. During this time, the ServiceSupport Tool will still be on a “countdown” screen. This screen will continue until it reaches zero,at which point the checksum screen will appear. Before the Service Support Tool counts down tozero, the imageRUNNER will reboot and Windows will present an “Add New Hardware” screen.Just press ‘Cancel’.
