Updating the Printer's Firmware Automatically

You can set the firmware to update automatically when the printer is connected to the Internet.

When the administrator lock is enabled, only the administrator can execute this function. Contact your printer administrator for assistance.

  1. Select Settings on the printer's control panel.

  2. Select General Settings > System Administration > Firmware Update.

  3. Select Automatic Firmware Update to display the settings screen.

  4. Select Automatic Firmware Update to enable this feature.

    Select Agree on the confirmation screen to return to the settings screen.

  5. Set the day and time for the update, and then select OK.

    Note:

    You can select multiple days of the week, but you cannot specify the time for each day of the week.

Setup is complete when the connection to the server is confirmed.

Important:
  • Do not turn off or unplug the printer until the update is complete. The next time you turn on the printer, "Recovery Mode" may be displayed on the LCD screen and you may not be able to operate the printer.

  • If "Recovery Mode" is displayed, follow the steps below to update the firmware again.

    1. Connect the computer and the printer using a USB cable. (You cannot perform updates in recovery mode over a network.)

    2. Download the latest firmware from the Epson website and start updating. For details, see "Update method" on the download page.

Note:

You can set to update the firmware automatically from Web Config. Select the Device Management tab > Automatic Firmware Update, enable the settings, and then set the day of the week and time.
