Updating the Firmware over the Network

Once the latest firmware has been uploaded to the server, you can update the projector’s firmware over the network.

The procedures for updating the firmware vary depending on the settings in Firmware Update Set. from the Network menu.

Notify: When the projector is turned on, a firmware update confirmation screen is displayed.
Select OK to start the update.
Do not notify: You can update the firmware from the Info menu.
Auto update at midnight: When the projector is in standby mode, the firmware is automatically updated between 12:00 AM and 4:00 AM.
Off: Disables firmware updates over the network.

You need to configure a DNS server to update the firmware over the network.
Depending on your network, set DHCP to On in IP Settings from the Wired LAN menu or the Wireless LAN menu. If DHCP is set to Off or if you want to specify a DNS server address, enter the IP address in DNS Server 1 or DNS Server 2.

If you are using Epson Projector Management Connected, we recommend setting Firmware Update Set. to Off in the Network menu.

If Firmware Update Set. is set to Do not notify in the Network menu, follow the steps below to update the firmware.

If Firmware Update Set. is set to Notify and you did not select OK when turning on the projector, or if it is set to Auto update at midnight but the update was not performed because the projector was on, you can update the firmware using the same procedure.

Press Menu, select Info, and then press Enter.
Select Firmware Update and press Enter.
Select Update over Network and press Enter.
- If the latest firmware has not been uploaded to the server, you cannot select Update over Network.
- If Firmware Update Set. is set to Off in the Network menu, you cannot select Update over Network.
Select Yes to start the firmware update.

Do not disconnect the power cord from the projector while the firmware is updating. If the power cord is disconnected, the projector may not start correctly.

All of the projector's indicators start flashing and the firmware update starts. When the update finishes normally, the projector enters standby status (only the power indicator is lit blue). If Direct Power On is set to On in the projector's Extended menu, the projector turns back on again.

When the update finishes, check the projector's Info menu to make sure that the Version information has been updated to the correct firmware version.

When all indicators flash rapidly, the firmware update may have failed. Disconnect the power cord from the projector, and then reconnect it to the projector. If the indicators continue to flash even after reconnecting the power cord, remove the power plug from the electrical outlet and contact Epson.
