When Initial ink charge is not needed when replacing the Main

to off (p232) before updating the firmware.
(The printer is rebooted automatically right after uploading the
firmware. Since the parameter does not exist on the new Main
Board, the initial ink charge starts automatically.)
All firmwares can be installed to the printer via USB cable
connection.
When updating starts, a progress bar is displayed on the Control
Panel of the printer. After updating is complete, the printer restarts
automatically. Make sure not to turn off the printer until updating
is complete. Otherwise, the printer may not operate normally
afterward.
