imagePROGRAF L Printer Service Tool (Ver. 1.40)_ New
There are two ways to upgrade the system software on the Large format printer. One is using the FUT, Firmware Upgrade Tool and the other is using the L Printer Tool. The FUT is designed so the customer can flash or upgrade the printer on there own. The printer must be in normal operating conditions to use the FUT.
This article does not cover using the FUT to upgrade the printer. The second method is using the L Printer Tool. This is what the technicians can use when the printer is having problems. The requirements for the L Printer Tool are:
1. The print driver must be installed on the PC or Laptop that is connected to the printer.
2. The FUT file must be downloaded and unzipped on the PC or Laptop that is connected to the printer.
3. The PC or Laptop needs to connect to the Printer, via the existing network configuration the customer is already using or a cross over Cat. 5 cable or a USB 2.0 cable. Note: USB is simpler to use, (No TCP/IP configuration is needed).
To flash/upgrade system software on the Large format printers the FUT file for the model must be downloaded. This FUT program contains the firmware to flash the printer. The L Printer tool needs this firmware to flash the printer.
**Knowledge is time consuming, exhausting and costly for a trained Tech.**

Hey Mannix, Never ever give up, my brother. ''You could only be 3 feet away from gold''. Help will always come to you from the most unexpected source, it could just be around the corner! I can see teckat is really committed to help you. Wide format printers/Engineering copiers are rare in my part of the world, however, I really keenly followed this thread and it was very interesting. Knowledge never ceases. Good Luck and Keep trying.
