Xerox Phaser 6200 Maintenance Firmware Release
Installation Instructions
October 3, 2002
In May 2002, the Xerox Office Printing Business introduced the award-winning
Phaser 6200 Color Laser Printer. Combining high performance, superior print quality,
and unprecedented ease-of-use, the Phaser 6200 printer offers the best value available for
letter-sized color laser printers.
In keeping with Xerox’ total commitment to quality, Xerox is pleased to offer
Phaser 6200 customers this maintenance release of printing software. This new software
improves printer usability and reliability by addressing problems that were discovered
after the initial introduction of the product. Xerox is confident that this software will
further improve your printing experience.
This document describes the steps necessary to upgrade a Phaser 6200 printer from the
original firmware release to the new version using the flash update program file.
Printers manufactured after October 2002 were shipped with the new firmware pre-
installed, and do not require this maintenance release.
The maintenance release software is available to download at no charge from the Internet
at:
http://officeprinting.opbu.xerox.com/cgi-bin/formeng.pl?form=6200printer_firmwareupdate
A two CD-ROM set containing the new printer driver and utilities and the printer
firmware flash update PostScript file may be ordered by calling 1-800-835-6100.
See the “Technical Change Notes for the Xerox Phaser 6200 Maintenance Firmware
Release” document that is included in the maintenance release package for a detailed list
of changes from the original printer firmware to the new version.

I. Checking the Version of Firmware Installed in a
Phaser 6200 Printer
Check the version presently installed in your printer before performing the printer
firmware update. The printer displays the firmware version presently installed on
the configuration page. A configuration page is printed from the printer’s front
panel controls.
To print the configuration pages and check the firmware version presently
installed:
1. Use the arrow keys on the printer’s front panel to select the “Printable Pages”
item, and press “Enter”.
2. Press the down arrow key to scroll to the “Configuration Pages” key, and press
“Enter”.
3. The printer prints two pages of configuration information. The firmware version
presently installed is displayed on the seventh line of the left column on the first
page. Check the firmware version presently installed against the table below to
determine if you need to update your printer:

III. Updating Any Phaser 6200 Configuration from a
Computer with a Microsoft Windows Operating
System Using a USB, Parallel, or Novell Connection
1. Launch the “OPB File Downloader.exe” application located in the “Phaser 6200
Update” directory.
2. Select the Phaser 6200 printer in the pull-down list of installed printers.
3. Determine the configuration of Phaser 6200 printer you have. The configuration
name is displayed in the top line of printer’s LCD display on the front panel of the
printer. The configuration names are Phaser 6200B, Phaser 6200N, Phaser
6200DP, and Phaser 6200DX.
For the Phaser 6200B configuration, use the file “P6200B_Update.ps” to update
the printer in the steps below. For the Phaser 6200N, Phaser 6200DP, and Phaser
6200DXconfigurations, use the file “P6200N_DP_DX_Update.ps” to update the
printer in the steps below. If you do not have the correct version of the printer
firmware update file for your printer, download the correct file from the Xerox
OPB web site at:
http://officeprinting.opbu.xerox.com/cgi-bin/formeng.pl?form=6200printer_firmwareupdate
Notes: The printer firmware image installed by the “P6200B_Update.ps” and
“P6200N_DP_DX_Update.ps” files is identical; only the firmware
update programs that write the flash ROM memory are different. Two
different firmware update files are required because of the different
memory requirements for the two configurations.
Using the incorrect firmware update file cannot change the printer
configuration.

4. Use the “Browse…” button to select the appropriate firmware update file, then
press the “Send” button. The firmware update is sent to the printer using the
Windows print spooler.
5. No further user action is required to complete the firmware update process. The
printer restarts automatically when the update process is complete, and the printer
is then ready for use.
Caution: Do not attempt to cancel the firmware update process once it has
started, or turn off the printer power during the update. The
printer might be left in an inoperable state that requires service.
Notes: The printer prints a warning page the printer should not be
interrupted during the firmware update process. The front panel LCD
displays the progress of the firmware update. The printer
automatically restarts after the firmware update process is complete.
The printer’s configuration and settings are not altered by this
firmware update.

Phaser 6200DX Configuration with a Macintosh
Computer Using an AppleTalk Network Connection
Note: When using Macintosh OS X, the update procedure runs from within
the “Classic” environment.
1. Launch the Apple Printer Utility. The Phaser 6200 Driver Installation CD installs
this program in the “PhaserTools” folder at the top-level of the computer’s startup
disk. Indicated by the red oval below.
Note: The Apple Printer Utility is a classic Macintosh application that runs
in either Mac OS 9 as a native program or Mac OS X within the
Classic environment.
