Xerox B1025 Firmware Upgrade -

Preparation

  1. Troubleshooting & Tips

    • Firmware Validation Failed: Ensure you downloaded the correct firmware specifically for the B1025 (not B1022, as they are different hardware classes). Also, ensure the downloaded file was unzipped correctly.
    • Frozen Update: If the progress bar has not moved for over an hour, you may need to power cycle the device. If it does not boot up after a power cycle, the firmware may have "bricked" the device, requiring a service call.
    • Post-Update Check: After the printer reboots, print another Configuration Report to verify the "System Code" or "Firmware Version" has changed to the new version.
    • Scan to Email/FTP Issues: Occasionally, after a firmware update, address book entries or scan settings may need to be re-synced. Check the EWS settings if scanning stops working.
