Software Update via a Remote Computer
Load a software patch onto the DryStar 5300 straight from a networked PC's web browser — no CF card and no local keypad — by driving the printer's own Service Engineer Tools web pages end to end, then confirm the upgrade with a SMPTE test image and one test image per modality.
Tools & parts
| Item | Part number | Qty |
|---|---|---|
| Web browser + network connection to the printer | n/a in source | 1 (derived — source lists this as a precondition, not a counted line item) |
| Software-patch ZIP file (e.g. `DS5300_SWR_180C1.zip`) | n/a in source | 1 (derived — source gives this only as an example filename, not a counted line item) |
Safety
Hazard: Depending on the software patch version, the software upgrade may re-program one of the printer's boards.
Consequence: If that re-programming is interrupted by a power loss, the affected board may become unusable.
Avoidance: Do not reboot the printer before requested by the web pages.
