1 Introduction
Drystar 5500 software release 4.2.0_C1 is a mandatory upgrade for printers where one
of the following ROHS* conform spare parts has been installed:
o Themis PCB + RAM (ROHS) CM+358908.X
o Crius PCB + RAM (ROHS) CM+358909.X
o MEC PCB (ROHS) CM+358911.X
o 128 MB RAM (ROHS) CM+358917.X
o 256 MB RAM (ROHS) CM+358918.X
o DSH PCB (ROHS)** CM+359197.X
* ROHS stands for Restriction of certain hazardous substances. For more information refer to
Drystar 5500 / Drystar 5500 Service Bulletin No. 40.
** For the DSH board software ≥ 3.10_C1 is sufficient
NOTE:
After installation of a RoHS compliant printed circuit board (PCB) the printer possibly
boots-up with message ERROR SYSTEM FAILURE.
NOTE:
Software upgrade is also possible via floppies. Refer to sections 5.4 and 5.5.
2 Preparation
CAUTION:
Power failure during software upgrade may cause that the printer cannot start-
up anymore, as the Key, MEC, Themis and Crius boards are re- programmed.
DO NOT SHUTDOWN the printer during software installation.
Service - Install
Please wait while rebooting the printer

NOTE:
During Software upgrade via batch file following steps are executed internally:
• A backup of the printer specific data is created and copied to RAM
• The software is sent from the PC to the printer via FTP and inflated
• The boards are programmed
• The backup is restored from RAM
Executing the batch files requires the Java Virtual Machine, either from Microsoft or
Sun. If the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (VM) is not installed, error
"'jview' is not recognized as an internal or external command' will be displayed.
Proceeding:
(1) Select "Start - Settings - Control Panel - System"
(2) Check the installed operating system
In case the software upgrade was not successful, e.g. printer is 10 minutes after the
last reboot still hanging with message 'Wait selftest proceeding’ or starts up with
message ‘ERROR System Failure’ proceed as follows:
(1) Connect the service PC to the printer and open a terminal session.
Check the current status of the printer.
(2) In case there is an evidence of a failed software installation, restart the batch file
(3) Retry the software installation with the batch file.
A logfile of the software installation named 'swins.log' is created in the same directory
where the 'remote_emergency_install.bat' file is executed.
If it is executed from a write protected medium (e.g. CD ROM), the 'swins.log' file is
not created.
# Tasks Refer to
1 Check displayed software version 4.1
2 Verify the successful software upgrade 4.2
3 If printer was in ERROR SYSTEM FAILURE state: Check previously 4.3
installed software version.
4 Perform backup of Machine Specific Data 4.4
4.3 If Printer was in Error System Failure State: Checking the previously
installed Software Version.
If the software upgrade has been made at a printer with display "ERROR SYSTEM
FAILURE" e.g. after installation of a ROHS conform printed circuit board proceed as
follows:
(1) In the windows explorer double-click on the printer backup ZIP file (on floppy or - if
available - on the service PC hard disk)
(2) Double-click on file bac.zip
(3) Double-click on file 'infocounters_old\0\infocounters.txt'
(4) Search for entry "1.4 Software info"
(5) If software < 3.0.0_C1 was installed, additional steps are required, as this version
does not yet have the A# Sharp functionality. For details refer to document
DD+DIS430.05E in section 7 of the Technical Documentation Drystar 5500.
(6) If software ≥ 3.0.0_C1 was installed continue with the next section.

A Printer is booted up
1. Select Key-operator menu "2 Show Settings - 3 Network-Dicom"
2. Select Service Menu "1 Show info - 2 Network Info"
2. Connect to the PC via Hyperterminal (see 5.1) and type "show info":
Parameter "Net ID" shows the printer IP address.
Recent service PCs also auto-detect the type of connection and allow direct
connection from PC to printer via "normal" network cable.
• For connection to the printer service web pages: Start the browser (Internet
Explorer ≥ 5) and Enter the IP address of the printer in the address window.
See section 3.1
• For software upgrade via “remote_emergency_install.bat” file: Double-click the
batch file. See section 3.2

NOTE:
After each floppy the integrity of the copied data is checked. In case of an irregularity,
the display will indicate this fact. In this case proceed as follows:
(1) Make a new version of the corrupt floppy. Use a brand new floppy from good
quality. In some cases the floppy will have to be made on another PC floppy
drive.
(2) Retry the installation of the specific floppy.
CAUTION:
Loss of configuration data possible. In this case printer can only be made
operational again if a backup of configuration data is available.
Only select not to preserve the printer configuration in case a backup of the
configuration data is available on floppy. First check, that the floppy is readable.
