Upgrading the printer software and firmware
Using the latest software and firmware helps ensure optimal performance of your
printer.
When you upgrade to the latest version of Home Center Software, it comes with the
latest drivers, which are programmed links between the computer and printer. The
drivers allow communication between the printer, scanner, and computer.
Firmware is data or programs that are written to the memory and control
functionality of your printer.
When you open Home Center Software, the software automatically checks for
software and firmware updates (firmware updates on WINDOWS OS-based
computers only). Use these procedure when you want to upgrade manually.
NOTE: Your printer must be connected to the computer with a USB cable to
upgrade firmware.
