Firmware update instructions and decisions
Step 1: Identify current code levels and follow the decisions below. See "How to check printer firmware levels"
If... |
Then... |
Base code is ≤ LW70\\.P022 and engine code is ≤ .E602 |
|
Base code is already at EC5.0 (LW50), but my firmware requirements call for EC4.0 or EC4.05 - LW40.##.P436 or .P439 |
You must first revert to an intermediate code level of EC4.1 (LW41.##.P454).

Step 2: Download and extract the .zip file. See Firmware availability above.
Step 3: Update the printer.
Make sure the printer is READY to receive firmware, and do not interrupt the printer's power or data connection during the update process.
