Perform the SW 2.0.0_C1 upgrade via browser (Service Engineer Command Session, alternate path)
Upgrade a DryStar 5300 from SW Release 1.8X (or 1.9X) to SW 2.0.0_C1 entirely from a browser — a Service Engineer Command Session driven from the Service PC over the network, instead of swapping CF cards at the printer — ending in the same approximately 24-minute unattended reboot as the CF-card path.
Applies to
DryStar 5300 — this section's own document footer labels the printer "(Type 5365)" (no "/100" suffix) — source Chapter 7, Appendix §6.3 "Software Upgrade via Browser," Field Modifications (DD+DIS350.05E), Edition 1, Revision 9 (2006-01-20), document p.485 (chapter-footer "Chapter 7/23"). Other atoms in this corpus, sourced from a different document (DD+DIS346.05E), label the same printer "Type 5365/100" — both refer to the DryStar 5300 dry film imager; not reconciled here.
Personnel
1 technician · Service-level technician comfortable driving a browser (Internet Explorer ≥ 5, per the network-connection prerequisite), reaching the printer's own homepage, logging into Service Engineer Tools, walking a nested on-screen menu, and using a file-browse/upload dialog to hand the SW zip to the printer from the Service PC — no CF card handling, no disassembly. Requires the Service PC already connected/adapted per the network-setup prerequisite (agfa-dry-drystar5300-sw-upgrade-connect-service-pc-network). Contrast the CF-card path (agfa-dry-drystar5300-sw-upgrade-install-via-cf-card), which needs neither a Service PC nor a network connection. Source assigns no formal skill-level label to this section (derived).
