7 Maintaining Your Printer

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.
