If the printer is turned ON for the first time after the main
firmware is uploaded on the newly mounted Main Board which
does not have any parameters at all, the printer automatically
performs the initial ink charge. When the initial ink charge is not
necessary, be sure to clear the flag. See ?5.4.5 Initial Ink Charge
Flag? (p.211).
The firmwares should be always be updated when the printer is in
“Ready” situation. In case the printer does not become “Ready”,
update the main firmware in Firmware Update Mode (while
pressing down [Heater] + [Paper Feed (up)] + [Paper Feed (down)]
+ [Menu], power on the printer), then update the remaining
firmwares in normal mode.
