Updates
An update replaces part of the product you have — usually software — with a
newer release. Driver updates and firmware updates are the most common types
of update.
• Driver Update
Driver
updates are available from the website or from your service provider.
• Firmware Update
In
most cases, you should update firmware when your service provider
recommends it. Be careful to choose a firmware file that e
xactly matches your
printer type.
Updating the Driver
If a newer printer driver is released, it can be downloaded from the Web site
listed in the bar at the bottom of the page.
Important! Do not use any of the following methods to remove or replace the existing
driver:
• The Printer Properties > Advanced tab >New Driver button
• Delete the printer from the Printers or Hardware window.
After downloading the dri
ver, follow the step
s in “Removing a Printer from
a Windows PC” to remove this driver and install the new one. Removing
and installing the driver requires a user with W
indows Administrator-level
or Creator/Owner rights or permissions.
When you update the driver, the driver
also updates:
• My XPS Card Printer
• The
documentation folder
