Emergency SW Installation on a New, Empty Internal CF Card

Load the printer's software onto a new, empty internal CF card — typically right after swapping in a replacement Compact Flash card — from an external CF card carrying the "Emergency_Install" package, then reload the site configuration and calibrate before returning the printer to service.

Applies to
DryStar 5300, Type 5365/100 — source Chapter 3.2 §3.2 "Emergency SW Installation on a new, empty internal CF card," Repair and Service: Machine specific tools, software tools and auxiliary means, Edition 1, Revision 7 (2006-01-26). Written for a printer whose internal CF card is new and empty — typically right after the internal Compact Flash card has been physically exchanged (see [Replace the compact flash card](agfa-dry-drystar5300-elec-replace-compact-flash-card)) — not for a routine software patch applied to a card that already carries software.
Personnel
1 technician · Basic — insert an external CF card carrying the printer's "Emergency_Install" software, reboot, and answer the on-screen prompts at the local keypad; then reach the Key-operator menu to run "5 Restore Configuration" and finish with a film calibration. No disassembly, PC, or network access is involved in this section itself. (derived — source does not assign a formal skill-level label to this section.)

Safety

NOTICE

Hazard: Depending on the software patch version, one of the printer's boards may get re-programmed during this install; source's own signal word for this is "Caution," but the stated consequence is equipment-only (no personnel injury is described), so FSELIB's Z535 mapping presents it as NOTICE.

Consequence: If the board re-programming is interrupted by a power loss, that specific board may become unusable.

Avoidance: Do not reboot the printer before requested by a local keypad message — follow the display prompts in the order given, through to completion.
