Updating the Printer's Firmware using the Control Panel

If the printer can be connected to the Internet, you can update the printer's firmware using the control panel. You can also set the printer to regularly check for firmware updates and notify you if any are available.

  1. Select Settings on the home screen.

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

    Note:

    Select Notification > On to set the printer to regularly check for available firmware updates.

  3. Check the message displayed on the screen and start searching for available updates.

  4. If a message is displayed on the LCD screen informing you that a firmware update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to start the update.

    Important:
    • Do not turn off or unplug the printer until the update is complete; otherwise, the printer may malfunction.

    • If the firmware update is not completed or is unsuccessful, the printer does not start up normally and "Recovery Mode" is displayed on the LCD screen the next time the printer is turned on. In this situation, you need to update the firmware again on your computer by following the steps below.

      1. Connect the computer and the printer with a USB cable, paying attention to the points below.

      • During recovery mode, you cannot update the firmware over a network connection. You can only use a USB connection.

      • Use a USB 2.0 type A‐B cable. You can also use a USB 3.0 cable for some models.

      2. Download the latest firmware from your local Epson website to your computer, and then start updating.
