Epson SureColor B6070

This section explains how to update the firmware. The firmware of this printer is written in the Flash ROM on the MAIN BOARD. If the MAIN BOARD is replaced or the firmware needs to be updated, follow the procedure below to write the firmware to the Flash ROM.

Following three kinds of firmware are provided.

• Main firmware (Printer and Network integrated firmware)
• PS Option firmware / resource
• Reel Option firmware

CAUTION
When Initial ink charge is not needed when replacing the MAIN BOARD with a new one, make sure to turn “Initial Ink Charge Flag” to off (P. 310) before updating the firmware. (The printer is rebooted automatically right after uploading the firmware. Since the parameter does not exist on the new MAIN BOARD, the initial ink charge starts automatically.)
