WARNING: It is highly recommended to consult with your Network or System Administrator before performing any software (firmware) update. Some updates may cause the machine to become non-compliant and cease to work as intended with the environment in which it is installed.

WARNING: If your printer uses a Print Server, be sure to download the software (firmware) version relative to the current version on your printer. There may be multiple versions available to download from Xerox.com. If the incorrect version is installed on your printer the Print Server also known as the DFE/Rip (Fiery or FreeFlow,) may become unreliable.
