Caution: Running the update software

Before performing the update, ensure that the power cables for both scanner and computer and the interface cable or cables connecting the two devices are securely connected.

After starting the updater, do not perform any of the operations below until a message appears stating that the update is complete.  Depending on their timing, any of these actions could damage the firmware, making it impossible to download it to the scanner:

	Turning the scanner or host computer off
	Disconnecting the interface cable
	Performing any operation on the host computer, including moving the mouse
	Connecting or disconnecting other IEEE1394 devices or turning them on or off (note that some IEEE1394 devices turn off automatically if no operations are performed for a specified period; such devices should be disconnected from the computer before the update begins)

The update takes approximately one minute to complete.
