Updating Projector Firmware Using a Computer and USB Cable

You can update the projector firmware using a computer and a USB cable.

Note: You need a USB Type A to USB Mini-B cable.

Your computer must be running one of the following operating systems when updating firmware:

Windows 8.1 (32- and 64-bit)
Windows 10 (32- and 64-bit)
Windows 11 (64-bit)
macOS 10.13.x (64-bit)
macOS 10.14.x (64-bit)
macOS 10.15.x (64-bit)

Download the projector firmware file from the Epson support website. Make sure it is the correct firmware file for your model.
Note: If the firmware file is not the correct file for your model, or if you renamed the file, the update will not start.
Turn on the projector.
Connect the USB cable to the computer's USB port and to the projector's Service port.
Press the Menu button, select the Information menu, and press Enter.
Select Firmware Update and press Enter.
Select Yes to start the firmware update.
Note: Do not disconnect the power cable or remove the USB cable while the firmware is updating.
All of the status indicators on the projector turn on and the projector enters firmware update mode. The projector appears as a removable drive on the connected computer.
Note: If the projector is in firmware update mode for longer than 20 minutes before a firmware update starts, it automatically shuts off. Return to step 2 and repeat the process.
Copy the downloaded firmware file onto the root (top) directory of the projector's removable drive.
Note: Do not rename the firmware file.
Safely remove the projector's removable drive from the computer, then disconnect the USB cable from the projector. The firmware update starts.

While the firmware is updating, the status indicators on the projector start flashing. After the update is complete, the projector enters standby mode. If Direct Power On is enabled, the projector restarts automatically.

Note: If all status indicators flash rapidly, the firmware update may have failed. Disconnect and reconnect the projector's power cord. If the indicators continue to flash even after reconnecting the power cord, unplug the cord from the electrical outlet and contact Epson Support.

After the update is complete, check the Version setting in the Information menu to confirm that the firmware was updated successfully.
