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:

Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or most other popular web-browsers should

work.

2. Enter the TCP/IP address of the printer or its DNS network name in the web

browser’s address bar, and open the page. The address bar is typically at the top

of a browser window. Shown in the top-left red oval.

5. Click the “Browse” button. In the resulting file open window, select the firmware

update file named “P6200N_DP_DX_Update.ps” that is provided as part of this

update package. Shown in the upper red oval.

6. Click the green button to transmit the firmware update to the printer.

7. No further user action is required to complete the firmware update process.

Caution: Do not attempt to cancel the firmware update process 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.

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.

IV. Updating a Phaser 6200N, Phaser 6200DP, or

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.
