Epson Printers download firmware. Tips for updating firmware for Epson printers Firmware for Epson inkjet multifunction printers

We present a new project separate from PrintHelp.

Epson printer firmware service for chipless printers - ChiplessSolutions.com

This service allows you to make chipless printer models that are not supported by the PrintHelp program and for most of which there are no autochips, and, accordingly, there is no possibility of installing a CISS or using a remote control. After the firmware is installed, you can install CISS and DZK.

Brief instructions:
1. Check whether your printer model is supported by the service. List below.
2. Download the Firmware for your model (select the model and download the firmware).
3. Upload the firmware to the printer. If everything went without problems, you can buy an Activation Code.
4. Download the License.exe utility - download.
5. Buy an Activation Code - Buy an Activation Code - purchased for each device.
The Activation Code is not canceled after use. Its use with a firmware device is not limited in time or quantity. This means that if suddenly the printer is updated again from the Epson website, you can flash it back to chipless at any time.

ATTENTION: The Activation Code cannot be canceled, so before buying an Activation Code, check your printer to see if it can be flashed with chipless firmware.
In some batches of printers, a problem occurs when the original firmware of the printer does not allow changes to be made and the printer goes into ROM NOT WRITABLE mode and then turns on only in RECOVERY MODE (in this case, you need to update the printer firmware from the Epson Official Website)

Checking the printer to see if it can be flashed chipless. Do not purchase an Activation Code until you have completed this check!

1. Connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable.
2. Enter the printer into firmware update mode - Program Update Mode.
To do this, turn off the printer and within 1 minute after turning it off, press and hold a certain combination of buttons (each model has its own combination - download the instructions for your printer model from the link below) until the printer turns on and Program Update Mode appears in white on the printer monitor black background. If the message appears in red - this is not the mode you need - turn off the printer and try again.
3. Download the firmware to the printer (link below). To do this, run the EPFWUPD.exe application and follow all the bootloader prompts and wait until the firmware is completely loaded into the printer. After this, the message “Finished” will appear on the printer monitor.

4. Turn off the printer by pressing the ON/OFF button (for different printer models, the mode exit buttons are different - they can be OK or 0 or OFF - see the instructions for your model).
After 10 seconds, turn on the printer.

ATTENTION! If the firmware loaded normally and the printer rebooted and returned to its normal mode, then this printer is suitable for converting it into a chipless one. You can safely buy an Activation Code and follow the instructions for your specific printer model.
If the firmware is not loaded, freezes, or the message ROM NOT WRITABLE is displayed and the printer does not return to operating mode after rebooting, this printer cannot be flashed into a chipless printer - you DO NOT NEED to buy an Activation Code for it! The Activation Code cannot be canceled or returned!

Generating a license for the printer.
Run the License.exe application
Select the printer you need from the list (if the printer you need is not displayed, try changing the port or USB cable)
Click the Activate online button and enter the Activation Code

After the license generation is completed, reboot the printer

After rebooting, your printer will work with the ink cartridge level monitoring system disabled.
The printer will no longer be blocked due to the “running out” of ink in the cartridge.
There will be no need to reset chips anymore.
If the printer was somehow miraculously updated from the Epson server again, no problem. Your license is activated and works for a specific printer without a time limit.
Therefore, keep track of which serial number corresponds to which printer.

You need to download the required chipless firmware for your printer here -

ATTENTION!
Use the program at your own risk.

Use the program with caution on original cartridges.
As soon as a color streaks, change the cartridge!

There is good news for owners of Epson S22, SX125, SX130 printers and multifunction devices!
You can make the printer chipless!!

In case of use, refilling is as follows: plug the air hole, take a syringe with a needle, press the filling hole with a hygiene stick and slowly refill. As soon as the fleece begins to color, the filling is complete. Suck a little ink back with the syringe, plug the filling hole and release the air.

Remember!

For the cartridges to work properly, the air hole on the cartridges must be open!

What this gives is that disabling chips provides very pleasant opportunities. There is no need to constantly pull the cartridges or the button on the CISS to reset. Ink consumption and diaper filling counters are completely disabled. Print for yourself and add ink. True, sometimes the firmware crashes (more on that below).

If you decide to flash the printer, then use the instructions written below.

1. Download and install the program

4. Launch the PrintHelp program while connected to the INTERNET.
5. Click the *Change model* button
6. In the drop-down list *Select model * select *chipless *, read the warning and click *Update*
7. Restart the printer.

1. Download and install the PrintHelp program or update the old version.
2. Remove the chips from the cartridges (you can cover the chips with electrical tape).
3. Turn on only the printer being reprogrammed.
4. Launch the PrintHelp program when the INTERNET is connected.
5. Do it as in the pictures:

In additional functions, check the box "Show additional functions"

6. In the "Management" menu in "Initialization and conversion" you can select *chipless - Turn chipless*, read the warning and click *Run*
7. Restart the printer.

Problems encountered:

The firmware sometimes crashes (it doesn’t recognize the cartridges). The nice thing is that the firmware does not crash while the task is being completed, i.e. You will never spoil the sheet unless you run out of ink :). If the firmware has crashed, then you need PrintHelp to make it back chipped (return to standard), turn off the printer, turn it on and again without a chip). It crashes without any frequency, nothing can be done. But for now it is being flashed quietly.

Sometimes you just turn it off, then turn it on - everything works.
It is recommended to do special cleaning of the print head. prog - .

Download >>PrintHelp

Support for this program and all discussions are carried out.

Clean the printer's print head using the utility built into PrintHelp: select Tools -> Additional functions -> Cleaning in the right column

Our testing:
MFP Epson SX130, ink.
More than 2000 sheets of A4 format have been printed, the firmware sometimes fails, but it is still stitched and everything prints.

Definitely an interesting solution for owners of Epson S22, SX125, SX130.

Since Epson did not bother to provide users with separate convenient software, some have to work hard to update their printing device.

Epson does not release firmware software for its printers

The first method will be based on the PrintHelp program. I’ll say right away that for the program to work fully, it will have to feed it some money. The actual upgrade costs about $10, so be prepared to shell out a little. Of course, a person from the CIS is not used to paying money for virtual goods, and many simply cannot wrap their heads around how one can pay money for programs. As a result, in search of easy money, people grab viruses, infect computers and pay 5-10 times more. The price for stinginess is not always determined by money, but you will agree that it is better to give $10 than to try for several days in a row to do something that you simply do not understand.

To flash Epson MFP firmware, you need to buy the PrintHelp program

PrintHelp is a program for flashing printer firmware from Epson, Canon, Samsung and many others. This is a kind of worker who performs some actions for you. You pay him, he updates your printer. Don’t think that someone has decided to take an extra penny from you. Better imagine that you are a strict boss who pays employees for fruitful work. Moreover, the program itself is free, and you will only have to pay for individual actions, the money for which will be returned if something goes wrong.

PrintHelp allows you to reset ink levels for different models

On the official website, download the program and go through the simple process of installing it. As soon as you launch it, it will undergo a small setup and search for connected printers.

Note (free firmware for Epson printers): It is useless to search the Internet for reset keys, since they are sold individually and are valid only once.

Think for yourself, who will spend money and give out keys for free? Separately, I would like to touch on the topic of key files. “Look how lucky you are, you stumbled upon our site, where you can download a file for free with a lot of free keys,” they say. An inexperienced user, of course, will fall for it and pick up a Trojan that will block access to the PC or delete all files on it. Therefore, follow the link in the program itself and buy a code that will not kill all your data.

Epson XP printer firmware is installed in the same way as described above

You may have noticed how large the list of updates is. It's so big because it's not a list of the latest updates, but of all existing ones. If you think that the previous version suited you better, you will have to buy a new code and go through the procedure again.

You can manually download firmware for an Epson printer only using special utilities, one of which is printhelp.

I hope this article answered all your questions and was useful.

ADJ programs EPSON have several functions directly related to EEPROM information, incl. EEPROM Data Copy and Save All EEPROM Data (Sometimes the name of this function sounds different, but the essence does not change). So, the first one allows you to save and then load the variable data of this memory into EEPROM again. AND THIS is the specific settings of a particular printer, including (not always, but often) both the model and DESTINATION (region intended for use). The second one only allows you to save ALL the contents of the EEPROM to a file (as they write in the CM - for analysis). In some SMs, especially for older devices, maps of the contents of the EEPROM are provided; those who wish can familiarize themselves with what is stored in the EEPROM...

When Epson's EEPROM was made on flash drives of the 93XX series, troubles with the EEPROM (including resetting the diaper, by the way... or if the chip itself failed and was replaced with a new one) could be solved by flashing the flash drive on a simple programmer with the contents of the EEPROM, removed from the working device. (Example: http://www.resetters...showtopic=11254)...

As for the language of display messages, the fonts of all possible languages ​​of the “clones” of the device, IMHO, are hardwired into the ROM of the electronics board, but the availability of certain fonts depends on the DESTINATION installed in the EEPROM. And if DESTINATION is for Asia, then English and hieroglyphs will be available. And here it should be noted that some functions of the ADJ program change not only the data in the EEPROM for which they are intended to change, but also register there the printer model and DESTINATION set when setting up the program. Including the diaper reset function!!!
With the mentioned R340, the issue is resolved simply - the ADJ program prompts you to select both the model and the region upon startup. It is enough to specify the EURO region - and the Russian language will appear in the menu (if it is in the ROM).
But with the R390 it’s more complicated - the ADJ program for it, as for most printers of the latest models, is configured for the model and DESTINATION when it is issued to a specific service center, and you and I will not be able to change this setting. Well, since the available ADJ programs for the latest Epson models are entirely NOT FROM OUR region, then...

Either bring it to the service center... I assure you, ADJ programs are available to any Epson service center... Or, as Zheka_Toner suggests, EEPROM Data Copy from a device in our region... Most likely, it will work.

P.S. As for the bios on the Epson R390, what is posted here under this name is the full contents of the EEPROM, which obviously has nothing to do with the base input output system... In this sense, bios on Epson = a non-existent term.

P.P.S. Well, for general development: what else, besides EEPROM, can you flash in Epson.
There are service programs for upgrading the microprogram control of the controller. Naturally, so do the corresponding firmware updates for the firmware. Those. ROM, generally speaking, can also be “modified”.
Using the special IPL Sender utility, we sew the FirmWare firmware file with the .dat extension into the printer’s brain.
By the way, the very first copies of Epson Stylus Photo 1410 in firmware had a bug in resetting the diaper. That is why the corrected versions of the ADJ program on the subject checked the firmware version and required an upgrade of the buggy version when trying to reset the pump. What's even funnier is that the very first StPh 1410 had a non-flashing ROM chip. Just imagine...

Downgrading Epson firmware using PrintHelp -

The additional raster for the letters was drawn by Epson. At the same time, all calibrations and tests seemed to pass normally.
And it happens something like this -

I don’t know how to win - calibrations don’t help :(

Now it’s also a service one. Before that - EpsonStatusMonitor. It all started before the endless calibrations. It all started after the printer jammed the paper - I forgot to pull out the tray. Up until this point I was typing just perfect. Moreover, it chewed to such an extent that the paper tore in one place. Immediately after this, these additional stripes (barely noticeable, though) began to appear on fonts and thin lines, and strictly in one place on the sheet - http://air-883-photo...to/Print_07.jpg. And after that, the printer did nothing but print out calibration tests. First as C65, and now as C63. The stripes are almost invisible, but they are there and, frankly speaking, it’s annoying. I don’t want to take it to a service center, otherwise they’ll replace the heads with barely alive ones B) . I can’t figure out what to do :(. Calibrations don’t help.

Once again, check the head voltage (when you remove the cartridges, you will see a small sticker with letters and numbers, this is the encoded voltage). Sometimes such miracles happen! It’s hard to understand from your scan what and how! Better scan at high resolution and post a small piece. FFF - I understand you drew it yourself.

And if the “voltage” of the head is different from the required one, what should you do then?
And how do you know “what voltage is correct”?
Or maybe everything is simpler? And is there a problem with the sheet positioning sensor?
This means: the paper got chewed... the sheet turned into an “accordion” and hit the sensor with force.
And now the sensor is lying.
Yura.

I'll post the scan this evening because... There is no scanner, you will have to go to a friend. And as for the stripes, I also had the idea that it was a matter of positioning the heads because... The lines (a trail of lines) of the letters are absolutely an additional (extra) raster - they have the same thickness, length and distance between themselves. Moreover, the lines are drawn precisely in the direction of movement of the carriage. The impression is that either the heads themselves receive the driver command, or something is wrong with the sheet during the printing process. I wiped the tape with marks, but to no avail. And where, if it’s not a secret, is the sheet positioning sensor? And what can you do with it?

If the voltage differs from the required one, the conclusion suggests itself - flash the required one! Each Epson head has markings, several letters and numbers, that's it! In the service program (for new printers such as 63 - 86, etc.) there are tips on where to see and how to enter the head id.
I think the sensor is not to blame here; it approximately determines the boundaries of the sheet and its presence.

Do you try to print something in draft quality and see if there will be an additional raster? It appears when printing occurs in two or more passes of the head, in one direction and in the opposite direction! This is calibration! Moreover, you experimented with the firmware.

The thing is that the raster appeared_before_flashing_first on the C64, and then on the C63. So the voltage supplied to the heads has nothing to do with it. All my further fuss with calibrations from under the service program (which ended with the fact that I now have a C63:P) just began_after_the printer chewed the sheet and I discovered additional lines - if you don’t look closely at them, it looks like a barely noticeable grease (loop ), if you take a closer look, you can clearly see that it is the heads who are drawing extra strokes. Something is wrong here, it’s just not clear. Of course, I need to do a scan, otherwise I understand that it’s a bit difficult. It’s difficult to determine which carriage passage the additional lines appear on, but I’ll try. They appear at any quality settings - from “draft” to “best photo”. Overall, I’m happy with the printer. What the service program writes about the head ID is 543F4A51HY.
