Updating the firmware using the Embedded Web Server
Before you begin, make sure that:

https://support.lexmark.com
and saved it to your flash drive or computer.
Note:
To deploy the printer firmware, extract the .fls firmware file from the ZIP package.
-
You are not using a special code on your printer to avoid losing this functionality.
Warning—Potential Damage:
Make sure that all printers receiving firmware updates are turned on during the entire firmware update process. Turning off a printer during a firmware update can severely damage it.
If the printer is connected to the network when checking for updates, then downloading the firmware is not required.
-
Open a web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
Notes:
-
View the printer IP address on the printer home screen. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
