WHAT'S ISW?
ISW (In-System Writer) is a process of updating the control programs stored in flash ROM mounted on various control boards in a Minolta digital copier without isolating the boards from the copier. Running ISW enables you to upgrade control programs without replacing the boards and maintain the boards during their replacement.
Tool available for running ISW include ISW Trns (PC software), which connects a personal computer (PC) to the digital copier.
This tool can be plugged into the ISW connector of the digital copier to directly update the control programs in flash ROM assembled in the machine.
This chapter focuses on instructions to set up this machine to run ISW.
Note: Only ISW Trans is enabled with ISW for this machine.

SETUP
[1] ISW-compatible boards
This machine allows ROM data residing on the following boards to be updated via ISW Tool:
•Image control board
•Printer control board
•Operation board
•RADF control board
•Video I/F board
The ROMs of other boards than the above need to be replaced.
[2] Data flow
PC/ISW Tool
Image control
(2)HELP + CHECK mode
Turning ON the copier with HELP and CHECK puts it into the HELP + CHECK mode. If the copier has the image control program installed, but not the operation control program, the 25 mode would not launch. This mode is specifically maintained to enable ISW in this situation.
2.25 mode
The 25 mode works only where the copier has both the image control and operation control programs installed.
(Some part of HELP+CHECK mode is used to update the operation control program in 25 mode.)
Operation board
Printer control
RADF control board
Video I/F board
Important Note:
The availability of the Graphics control board is prerequisite to updating ROM data on other boards.
[3]Prepare the copier to start an ISW transfer
1.Transfer modes
The copier supports three transfer modes as described below.
(1)Power-on mode
If the copier does not have the image control program installed, its writing to the copier is enabled when the main switch is turned on. Because the image control board controls the power supply to the operation board, nothing will appear on the operation LCD and timer LED will blink even though the operation control program has been installed on the copier.
