The new system update module will be released and applied to the scanners when one of the following occurs:
- Scanner is started, or resumed from the standby mode
- Scanner is logged out
- Scanner is notified of any update modules
Updates can be applied to the scanners that are in power-off or standby mode using Wake-On-LAN.
- Scanner has an automatic update scheduled
In the following cases, update modules cannot be uploaded.
- The module type is either a system or security option, and the same or upgraded module version has already been registered

Press the [Upload] button to upload the update module specified in [System Update Module].
- [Issue an Update Call] check box
- Select this check box to issue an update call for the update module.
When the check box is selected, even if a scanner is not started or logged in to, the update module is sent and applied to the scanner according to the Scanner Notification Schedule.
However, if the update is released while logged in to a scanner, the update will be applied after logged out. If any other available updates are pending, those are also applied at the same time.
When the check box is selected, set the schedule to notify update modules.
- Now
- Issues a call immediately.
- Later
- Issues a call at the specified date and time.
In this case, specify the date and time to issue a call. The value can be specified within the range between the current time and a month later.
The Scanner Notification Schedule is based on the system time of the Scanner Central Admin Server.
