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 Menu on the home screen.
2. Select General Settings > System Administration > Firmware Update > Update.
Note:
Select Notification > On to set the printer to regularly check for available firmware updates.
3. Select Start Checking.
The printer starts 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:
c
❏ 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 using a computer. Connect the printer to the computer with a USB cable.
While "Recovery Mode" is displayed on the printer, you cannot update the firmware over a network
connection. On the computer, access your local Epson website, and then download the latest printer
firmware. See the instructions on the website for the next steps.
Updating Firmware Using Web Config
When the printer can connect to the Internet, you can update the firmware from Web Config.
1. Access Web Config and select the Device Management tab > Firmware Update.
2. Click Start.
The firmware confirmation starts, and the firmware information is displayed if the updated firmware exists.
3. Click Start, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Note:
You can also update the firmware using Epson Device Admin. You can visually confirm the firmware information on the
device list. It is useful when you want to update multiple devices' firmware. See the Epson Device Admin guide or help for
more details.
