I am trying to install a fax system J onto a Km-4030. I know the fax system needs to be downgraded to be compatible with the machine but I can't seem to get it to work. I don't know if I am downloading the wrong thing or what. Basically all I was told to do is download the downgrade..put it on a flash card..install it into the machine. That didnt work for me. Has anybody done this before and got it to work? If so, how?
Thanks for any input.

Ive done it on two 3530's. I ordered the system "f" Roms in and used the flash jig we got for the ai1515 to download it to the fax board. This worked fine for me. I didnt know you could use compact flash.

We did it the same way as Troy with no problem.

There is a compact flash adapter for the fax systems. You can still use the older EPROM flash adapter but for only as long as K-M still issues the EPROM .hex files for burning EPROMs. The CF adapter has a dual use - it can also be used to download the configuration and programming of the fax onto a CF before doing a RAM clear or replacing the board, so you don't have to key in all the information manually.

The situation with installing Fax J into a 4030/3530/2530 is that the Fax J has to be flashed with current Fax system F firmware to make it work in these older models. The copier also has to be flashed to current firmware levels.

Where do you get this adapter? Do KM suply this and do you have a part number please?

Page 1-6-4 of the Fax System F-J Service Manual (available for downloading from KMA connect) has the part # (3CM68030) of the CF flash tool. Flash procedure is found there also. Use only a 32MB or less CF card for this, my experience using a 64MB CF is that it doesn't work at all. Be forwarned, the CF flash tool is expensive.

Cheers Chris.
