Maintaining control over your Epson printer's firmware updates is crucial to prevent interruptions and compatibility issues. Epson's automatic firmware updates, designed to enhance printer performance, can sometimes disrupt workflow or alter settings without consent. To manage these updates proactively:
- Use the Epson Software Updater to disable automatic updates, ensuring compatibility with third-party ink like Linford's.
- Within the updater, select your printer model, navigate to 'Auto update settings', and choose 'Never' for update intervals.
Remember, only turn off updates for valid reasons. For more detailed steps, visit Linford's guide12.
