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.

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.
(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.)
[3] Prepare the copier to start an ISW
transfer
1. Transfer modes
The copier supports three transfer modes as
ISW

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.

4. Parallel port setup
If a parallel data transfer is to be executed with
the ISW Trns program, the ECP mode setting of
the PC parallel port should be cleared. ISW Trns
does not support parallel data transfers. If a parallel data transfer is launched with the PC set in
ECP mode, the transfer could be aborted by an
error occurring in between. It would be necessary, therefore, to disable ECP mode before run
ISW Trns on a PC with the ECP setting.
Instructions on how to disable ECP mode are
given below.
Step Procedure
1 Boot the PC.
2 Open the System icon in the Control Panel
and click the Device Manager tab. Then,
search for LPT1 in Ports (COM/LPT1).
Note1: If LPT1 appears as ”ECP Printer
Port (LPT1),” then it is an ECP port.
Note2: If LPT1 appears as “Printer Port
(LPT1),” then it is a regular parallel
port.
3 With an ECP printer port, change the BIOS
setting of the PC to disable the ECP port.
Note: Because the BIOS setting depends
on the PC, check with your system
administrator on how to disable ECP
mode.
4 When the BIOS change is complete, open the
System icon in the Control panel and change
the parallel port driver.
5 Run a send test to verify the successful oper-
ation.
Note: If a transfer succeeds on one copier
model, then transfers would be successful on all models.

[6] Troubleshooting ISW Trns
If errors occur while running the ISW Trns program,
take the actions suggested below to correct them.
1. Unable to run ISW Trns
• Corrupted ISWTrns.EXE file
→ Set up again.
• The setup disk is corrupted.
→ Verify the setup disk and then set up again.
2. Send file is not displayed when a combo
box item is selected
• The send file is not stored in the folder.
→ Check to see if the send file is stored in the
folder appearing in the [Folder] text box in
[Versions]. Use the [File Copy] function if the
file storage location is unknown.
• Check to see if the base data folder setting
in the option window is not wrong.
→ Verify the base folder setting. Use the [File
Copy] function if the file storage location is
unknown.
• Invalid file name (altered)
→ The file name of a file must be used exactly
as it is delivered. If a file is renamed, it cannot be displayed or selected. If a file name
has been altered, return it to its original file
name.
• Invalid folder name (altered)
→If a folder as created with [Make Folder] in
the option window is renamed, it cannot be
located. Restore the original folder name
and check.
5. Unsuccessful file transfer
a. “Cannot open a file” error
• The file is used by any other program or by
the system.
→ Close that other program. If the file transfer.
still fails, reboot Windows.
b. “Cannot send a Term Test file” error
• The cable is not in firm position.
→ Check to see if the cable is inserted in firm
position or if the cable is not impaired.
• The copier is not ready to receive.
→ Check to see if the copier is ready to receive.
c. “Unsuccessful transmission to the LPT port”
error
• The cable is not in firm position.
→ Check to see if the cable is inserted in firm.
position or if the cable is not impaired.
• Invalid data has been transmitted.
→ Check from the file information window to
see if the receive mode (receiving board
type) of the copier and the send file on the
PC match.
→ If the file is transmitted for the first time,
check with its vendor.
• The PC parallel port is set in ECP mode.
→ Consulting the manual, free the parallel
port from ECP mode.
• Compatibility between the PC parallel port
and the copier port.
→ Verify by testing on a PC with proven trans mission performance.
• Use a cable shorter than 2 meters in length.
3. NG produced by a file check
• Corrupted send file
→ Copy the file again and recheck. If NG
re-curs, check with the vendor of that file.
4. “??” produced by a file check
• With any other model, the checksum file
(*.SUM) had not been copied when the send
file was copied to the PC.
→ Copy the checksum to the same folder as
the file is copied. It would be copied auto
magically if the [File Copy] function is used.
