Official firmware upgrade procedure

To flash firmware in official way you have to do it on 32bit system. Most recommended is Windows XP (you can do it on the virtual machine with redirected USB via virtualbox addons). I have found drivers for x64 but this printer works Maintenance Driver(1/3) which not works on x64.

On windows 8 and above you have to disable driver singing policy: Manual install drivers and disable drivers signing policy on Windows 10, 8, 8.1

First you have to switch printer to maintenance mode then install drivers and send the firmware file with FILEDG32 or PrintFile.

1. Turn off the printer. AC power cord connected.
2. Press and hold Power button (Ready and Error LED lit) – you can release on the step 6.
3. While still holding open top cover.  Only Ready LED lit.
4. Take out Drum unit, Error led lit. Put back drum unit.
5. Close top cover. If both leds lit you can release Power button. All leds goes out (off).
6. Hold Power button for 2 seconds until Error led lits then release. Ready led will lit.
7. Connect USB to machine and install drivers.
8. Send firmware file to printer called Maintenance.
9. READY and ERROR led will blinks (that’s mean firmware is flashing – wait for finish).
10. Done.

@PJL DEFAULT SETTONER=STANDARD
   @PJL EXECUTE
   @PJL SET REPLACETONER=CONTINUE

Disable Power Off

To disable Power off you can change the regional setting  (probably with EXECUTE BRLOCALIZE) or just send PJL:
<ESC>%-12345X@PJL
@PJL SET POWERDOWN=HOUR8
@PJL DEFAULT POWERDOWN=HOUR8
<ESC>%-12345X
Possible values:
MIN0
MIN1
HOUR1
