• This printer prints doublesided. The scanner does NOT scan double sided
• When configuring the printer it is posslibe that it looses it networksettings so you have to reconfigure them again
• We found this a troublesome printer
• We found the colors are not as expected. We have not been able to configure them properly. This is also the case whith the printers of some other brands

• Updating is only possible when using a Windows or Apple computer
• Updating must be preformed using the USB connection. Disconnect the ethernet cable
• Preferably connect the Windows PC and the multi functional to an UPS
• To preform the firmware update it is not necessary to install the drivers and support software for the multi functional. If you use the multi functional on Linux a Windows 8 or 10 machine, an USB A-B cable and the Firmware Update Tool is all you need
• Download the Firmware Update Tool
• Read the text on the Firmware Update Tool page
• Connect the USB cable between the multi functional and the Windows PC
• Wait until Windows has recognized the multi functional. A notification will appear after some minutes
• Wait until Windows has installed its software. An other notification will appear after some minutes
• Run the Firmware Update Tool
• Wait until it has finished installing the firmware updates. This can take several minutes. Do not interrupt the mainssupply

If a fixed IP address is used and the webinterface is not accessable set the network settings to DHCP on the printer. Reboot the printer
Use nmap to find the IP address of the printer or look in the webinterface of the router for it
Set the DHCP setting in the router to always use the newly assinged IP address for the printer
You can make a bookmark in your webbrowser for easy access to the webinterface of the printer
