When the printer is turned back on, it takes about three minutes to initialize itself and to check and prepare
the printheads. Preparing the printheads normally takes just over a minute. However, if the printer has been
o for a six weeks or more, preparing the printheads could take up to 45 minutes.
CAUTION: If the printer remains o for a long period of time, the printheads may become unusable. In this
case, you need to replace the printheads with new ones.
TIP: Because preparing and purging the printheads uses both time and ink, you are strongly recommended
to leave the printer always on or in sleep mode, whenever possible, to maintain the health of the printheads.
In both cases, the printer wakes up from time to time to maintain the printheads. Thus you can avoid going
through lengthy preparation processes before using your printer.
NOTE: If the printer is left on without printing, every six hours it advances the paper slightly to avoid the
pinchwheels leaving marks on the paper.
Update the rmware
The printer's various functions are controlled by rmware that resides in the printer.
From time to time rmware updates will be available from your support representative. These updates
increase the printer's functionality, enhance its features, and may correct minor problems.
IMPORTANT: You are strongly recommended to update the rmware periodically in order to take advantage
of the latest developments.
There are various ways of downloading and installing rmware updates; you can choose whichever you nd
most convenient. They can be divided into two categories: automatic and manual updates.
NOTE: The rmware includes a set of the most commonly used paper presets. Extra paper presets can be
downloaded separately; see Paper presets on page 43.
Automatic rmware updates
Automatic rmware updates are a convenience that is possible with Web-connected printers. Your printer can
automatically download the latest rmware release and install it for you.
Important notes
●
Your printer must be connected to the Internet; see Set up your Web-connected printer on page 20.
●
To congure automatic rmware updates, you can use the front panel or the Embedded Web Server; see
Set up your Web-connected printer on page 20.
●
If an administrator password has been set, it will be required to change these settings.
●
A rmware update package can be large; you may want to consider whether there are any implications
for your network or Internet connection. Downloads made with a Jetdirect adaptor are slower than
those made with the built-in Ethernet adaptor.
●
A rmware update is downloaded in the background: the printer can be printing at the same time.
However, it cannot be installed in the background: printing must stop.
Manual rmware updates
Manual rmware updates can be performed in the following ways:
●
Using the Embedded Web Server, select the Firmware update maintenance tab and then Firmware
update. Press Check now to check whether new rmware is available. If new rmware is available, some
