Updating the firmware using the Embedded Web Server

Before you begin, make sure that:
  • You have downloaded the latest printer firmware from https://support.lexmark.com and saved it to your flash drive or computer.
    To deploy the printer firmware, extract the .fls firmware file from the ZIP package.
  • You have downloaded the latest printer software and saved it to your flash drive or computer. For more information, contact the place where you purchased your printer.
  • You have downloaded the latest printer software and saved it to your flash drive or computer. For more information, contact your dealer.
  • You are not using a special code on your printer to avoid losing this functionality.
Make sure that all printers receiving firmware updates are turned on during the entire firmware update process. Turning off a printer during a firmware update can severely damage it.
If the printer is connected to the network when checking for updates, then downloading the firmware is not required.
  1. Open a web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
    • View the printer IP address on the printer home screen. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
    • If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the web page correctly.
