Maintaining Your Printer

Updating the software and printer firmware

Using the latest software and firmware helps ensure optimal performance of your printer.

NOTE: Firmware is the software that runs on your printer.

Although there is an automatic check for software and firmware updates when your computer is connected to the Internet, you may update manually using the following procedure.

Updating if your printer is connected to a computer with WINDOWS OS

To update the software:

1.Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.

2.Open Home Center Software, then select Printer Tools.

NOTE: If you do not have Home Center Software, select Start > All Programs >

Kodak > KODAK AiO Printer Tools.

3.Under Printer Resources, click Check for Software Updates to check whether software updates are available.

4.If there are updates, click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

To update the printer firmware:

1.Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.

2.Connect the printer to the computer with a USB cable or wirelessly (if not currently connected).

3.Open Home Center Software, then select Printer Tools.

4.Make sure that KodakHERO5.1+xxxx - Connected (or a similar name with Connected) appears in the lower left corner of the Printer Tools window.

NOTE: If KodakHERO5.1+xxxx - Connected does not appear in the lower left corner, click Select, click Refresh List and choose your printer from the list; click OK and follow the on-screen instructions.

5.Under Printer Resources, click Check for Printer (Firmware) Updates.

6.If there are updates, click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn off or disconnect your printer or your computer during the update. Doing so may cause the printer to become inoperable. If the printer is connected wirelessly, make sure you have a stable connection when you perform the update. During the upgrade, your printer will restart. Wait for the message, “Update complete! You may now use your Kodak Printer” to appear on your computer.
