How to disable automatic firmware updates on an Epson WF-7840 printer

On the Printer

To disable automatic firmware updates on an Epson WF-7840 printer, you can follow these steps:

1. Turn on your printer and navigate to the “Setup” menu using the control panel.
2. Scroll down to “Maintenance” using the arrow buttons and press “OK” to select it.
3. Scroll down to “Software Update” and press “OK”.
4. Select “Off” to disable automatic firmware updates.
5. Press “OK” to save the changes.

If you do not see the “Software Update” option, it is possible that your printer model does not support disabling firmware updates through its control panel. In this case, you may need to use a computer to change the settings.

3. Once you have entered the printer’s IP address in the browser, you will be prompted to enter the printer’s username and password. The default username and password for most Epson printers is “admin” and “password,” respectively.
4. After logging in, navigate to the “Firmware Update” section of the printer’s web interface.
5. Look for an option to disable firmware updates. This may be labeled as “Disable Firmware Updates,” “Firmware Auto Update,” or something similar.
