ABSTRACT:
The data processing apparatus of the present invention includes a memory having a first firmware stored therein; a receiving section for receiving a second firmware; a processor for executing update processing for updating the first firmware in the memory into the second firmware; and a drive for writing the second firmware onto a removable storage medium. A successfully updated firmware is stored on the removable storage medium. Therefore, after the firmware is further updated and, however, the updated version of firmware needs to be recovered, such firmware can be promptly and easily recovered from the storage medium.
