Firmware Updates

Firmware updates are sometimes available from the service Web site or the printer Web site. Firmware is usually updated using a program and a separate firmware update file. The program guides you through the update process. In most cases, you should update firmware when your service provider recommends it.

Be careful to choose a firmware file that exactly matches your printer type.

Upgrades

An upgrade adds functionality to your printer. Most often, upgrades are physical changes to the printer, performed by the service provider. Depending on the printer, the following types of upgrades might be available:

—Magnetic stripe module

—Smart card module

—High-capacity input hopper

—High-capacity output hopper

Field upgrades come with installation instructions designed for trained service providers.

Instructions for using the new functionality are included in InfoCentral > Features.
