Updating the Scanner's Firmware using the Control Panel

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

  1. Select Settings on the home screen.

  2. Select System Administration > Firmware Update > Update.

    Note:

    Select Notification > On to set the scanner 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 scanner until the update is complete; otherwise, the scanner may malfunction.

    • If the firmware update is not completed or is unsuccessful, the scanner does not start up normally and "Recovery Mode" is displayed on the LCD screen the next time the scanner is turned on. In this situation, you need to update the firmware again using a computer. Connect the scanner to the computer with a USB cable. While "Recovery Mode" is displayed on the scanner, you cannot update the firmware over a network connection. On the computer, access your local Epson website, and then download the latest scanner firmware. See the instructions on the website for the next steps.
