Appendix B: Updating firmware in diagnostics boot mode
If the printer is displaying a 79:04 system error during start up and will not
start normally, then services like the Embedded Web Server will not work.
Since the EWS is necessary to update the printer’s firmware using the FMW
f
ile which is provided in Designjet Online, when the printer does not boot,
an alternative method to update the firmware will be required.
The following method can be used to upgrade the firmware of a printer that
w
ill not boot normally:
1 S
tart the printer in Diagnostics Boot mode. See Using the Front Panel on
page 3-5.
2 P
erform the I/O information test and take note of the printer’s IP address.
See
