Canon has rolled out new firmware packages developed for some of its imagePROGRAF printers, which resolve the network communication failure when receiving certain files and improve the convenience of production.

In addition to that, the new updates also optimize the head temperature that would heat up inexplicably during printing, and fix the printing failure encountered at a paper mismatch event.

As for the compatible devices and their firmware, the producer has made available versions 1.41, 1.43, and 1.44 for its iPF9000S, iPF8100, and iPF5100 plotters, respectively, as well as build 1.39 targeted at the iPF8000 and iPF9000 imaging units.

Therefore, if you intend to make use of these fixes and improvements, you should first install the Canon Firmware Update Tool 3.40 as this utility will help you perform the upgrade more easily.

To do so, follow the link provided on the description page of each download, save the proper package for your system bit architecture, apply the updater, and make sure you reboot the computer after the installation has finished.

Now save the actual firmware file on your computer and transfer it to the “Data” folder located in the directory where the Update Tool has been installed, run the utility, and follow the instructions for a complete and successful upgrade.

Bear in mind that, before applying the new software, you must ensure no print jobs are sent to the device, and no program and processes that might interfere with this are running. Also, don’t turn off the printer while the utility is installing the update as this can render the device unusable.

That being said, from the links below, follow the one that best describes your printer imagePROGRAF model, save both the firmware and the updater, take into account all aforementioned aspects, and apply the latest software on your device.
