SC991 might occur and network functions could not be used. This occurs if DHCP and DDNS are both enabled in the device and if the DHCP server distributes to the device an FQDN that is more than 127 byte in length. 2. Device applications or services that use any of port 80, 443, 7443 or 7444 could not be used. This occurs if the illegal packet is sent after SSL negotiation handshake to any of the device's TCP ports 443, 7443 or 7444. Affected applications include Web Image Monitor, IPP Printing and @Remote. 3. If "CNAME" is specified as the destination folder, ScanTo Folder will abort. 4. If NBT is disabled, the destination for Scan to Folder might not be displayed and Windows authentication might fail. 5. Cannot scan to shared folders in Windows 8. 6. Cannot scan to shared folders in Mac OS X 10.7 or Mac OS X 10.8. This firmware is dependent on the following firmware modules. Please be sure to update all of them: System/Copy firmware v2.01 or later ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Modification history] ---------------------------------------- Version 8.31 Symptom corrected: 1. An httpd timeout has been implemented to prevent Web ImageMonitor lockups that sometimes occurred when applications accessed the MFP by http. (GFPE#RC10060010) 2. Scan to SMB fails if the file submitted to the DFS folder in the destination and the file of the same name exist in the DFS folder. 3. If Windows Authentication is enabled, printing a large number of copies of a job might take longer than might typically be expected. 4. Chunk Transfer Encoding over an IPP port might results in print jobs being reset. 5. If SSDP = Active (Web ImageMonitor > Configuration > Network Security), a high load on the CPU might result in Web ImageMonitor locking up. 6. MFP with an external controller will lose network connectivity. This only occurred if the network settings were changed repeatedly and the MFP's "NetWare" setting was already "Active" (before the network settings were changed). 7. The MFP icon might not be shown in the Windows "Network" dialogue if SSDP is enabled. This affected Windows Vista, 2008/R2, and 7. 8. The device might lose network connectivity if SSDP is enabled. Network connectivity could be temporarily restored after a power cycle. 9. Under very specific combinations of IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway address, some of the MFP's network configuration settings might revert to defaults. 10.Use of an IP address to send a Scan to SMB might result in the scanned document not being sent. 11.If the device's IPP Authentication setting is enabled, the driver cannot be installed on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 or 7 SP1 using an IPP port. 12.Scan to SMB fails if the both of the following conditions are met. - Either the device has NBT disabled or it is enabled but the device is unable to resolve the destination's NetBIOS name. - One or more octets in the destination's IPv4 address contain leading zeros. ---------------------------------------- Version 8.30 Symptom corrected: 1. SDK/J applications might not be able to recognize some supported USB devices. 2. When the device IP address and DNS server location are obtained from DHCP, the domain specified by the device setting "IPv4 > Domain Name > Specify" will be overwritten by the domain obtained from DHCP. 3. If the MFP/LP has a statically configured IP address and domain, it always sends a HELO using just its hostname. SMTP servers that require client HELOs to include the client's FQDN will close the connection. The result of this was that the MFP/LP was unable to send emails. 4. Unable to Scan to SMB to Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 destinations that have Windows Live ID Sign-in assistant installed. 5. Trying and failing to login to a Scan destination three times might result in the Scanner application stalling. 6. Unable to Scan to SMB to Windows 98/98SE/Me/NT 4.0 destinations specified using an IP address. 7. The SMB retry function fails to retry the sending of failed SMB transfers (Scan to SMB or Fax delivery). 8. Unable to retrieve the Windows group name from a Windows 2008 R2 server during Windows Authentication. Because of this, logged in users will only be granted the "Available Functions" specified for them in the Addressbook. 9. The device is unable to assign group privileges to a logged in user if that group has a name consisting of more than 20 bytes. To address this issue, the supported group name length will be increased to 40 bytes. 10. The MFP's Windows Authentication function is unable to use Kerberos when being authenticated on a Windows 2008 or Windows 2008 R2 server. The MFP will still be successfully authenticated because it is able to fail back to NTLMv2. 11. After changing the MFP's DNS server address or Domain name, Scan to SMB destinations specified using a hostname might not be found. 12. The Scan to SMB "Connection Test" fails if performed on directory located directly below a DFS root. Only the "Connection Test" failed, scanning was successful and even the "Connection Test" worked if performed on any sub-directory. 13. The device might return an SC 819 error when browsing the network using SMB. This only occurred if SMB was browsed frequently and the device was not rebooted. 14. If the MFP's IP address is changed to an IP address of another subnet, users will not be able to browse the network (using Scan to SMB) until the MFP is rebooted. 15. MFPs with an EFI controller cannot be discovered by WSD. Other changes: ----------------------- SSL-related changes: Note: The new field will only appear if Web Support firmware version 1.11 or later has also been applied to the device. 1. When the device creates a certificate request, it is now able to specify which algorithm (SHA1 or MD5) it wants used to sign the certificate. This has been implemented by adding a field "Algorithm Signature" to the certificate request form. 2. Web Image Monitor now shows the certificate's key length in: - Configuration > Security > Device Certificate > Details 3. Specific versions of SSL or TLS (SSLv2, SSLv3, or TLSv1) can now be enabled/disabled using Web Image Monitor. The setting can be configured from either of the following locations: - Configuration > Security > Network Security - Configuration > Security > SSL/TLS 4. The encryption strength used for SSL can now be configured. This can be done using either of the following settings in Web Image Monitor: - Configuration > Security > Network Security - Configuration > Security > SSL/TLS 5. For security reasons, the device will no longer accept SSL incoming, or establish outgoing, connections that use NULL or ADH ciphers. 6. Unable to Scan to SMB to a destination that is not specified using an FQDN. 7. Unable to Scan to SMB to destinations that are using both LM Authentication and Samba v2.x. 8. Windows Authentication fails if the username or password includes lower-case European characters. 9. The device's SMB timeout was too short (1sec). This caused problems when being used across subnets. For this reason, it has been increased to 10 sec. ---------------------------------------- Version 8.27 Symptom corrected: 1. When jobs are submitted to the device's lpr port repeatedly, some of the jobs might not be printed. 2. If IPP authentication is enabled, printing through an IPP port from a Windows Vista/Server 2008 client might result in printing failure. 3. Multiple Windows Vista/Server 2008 PCs might not be able to access the device through IPSec. 4. The MFP's IP address lease renewal request is incorrectly formatted and rejected by DHCP relay agents. This will result in a loss of connectivity that lasts until the MFP reinitializes the network connection (10 seconds). 5. If either of the WSD Printer or Netware functions are enabled, the following problems might occur. If these problems occur, they typically last for about 2.5 hours. 1) The network might become unresponsive. 2) User Tools can be accessed but configuration changes will not be applied. 3) Application buttons on the operation panel might become unresponsive. ---------------------------------------- Version 8.25 Support Color Controller E-5100 Symptom corrected: 1. The following error message will be displayed if an incompatible USB device is connected. Incompatible USB device has been connected. Check the USB device. Note: To display this message, System firmware (version 1.15 or later), NCS firmware (version 8.25 or later), LCDC firmware (EU/NA: version 1.05 or later, Asia: version 1.07 or later) and Language firmware (version 1.04 or later) needs to be applied to the device. 2. If the device fails to establish a WPA or WPA2 connection once, it will not try again until rebooted. 3. The device is unable to roam between access points using different versions of the IEEE 802.11 standard (a, b, or g). 4. LPR jobs submitted by an HP-UX, AIX or Netware 6.5 (SP6 or SP7) host will be cancelled, resulting in an error. Note: This problem will not affect Netware 6.5 SP7 if the patch "iprntnw65sp7b.zip" has been installed. http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=HsQQ9fMHax0~ 5. The device doesn't advertise its hostname via DHCP option 12. The DNS server might not be updated by DHCP. 6. IPP print jobs are cancelled. This happened very infrequently. 7. After a job consisting of a multiple of exactly 8KB (8192 bytes) is submitted via IPP, the device will no longer accept any more jobs until rebooted. 8. If both SNTP and Date/Time settings are configured in WIM, WIM might not be accessible. This happened very infrequently (about 1% of the time). Note: The fix requires that System firmware version v1.15 or later be applied to the device. 9. - Scan to SMB is unable to send documents to a hostname containing 2byte characters. - Windows authentication might fail on a domain controller whose hostname contains 2 byte characters. 10.Scan to USB/SD supports media formatted as superfloppy (media formatted without a partition table). 11.Very infrequently, USB flash drives or SD cards will not be recognized by the device at startup. Repeatedly inserting and removing a USB device might result in an SC819 error. This is caused by a memory leak and will only occur if the power has not been recycled. ---------------------------------------- Version 8.16.1 1st Mass production
