Updating the firmware mostly sorts you of any bug. Following are the steps that need to be followed to update the firmware.

Update the firmware
Download the latest firmware. Run the firmware and select the printer that needs to be updated. Now click send firmware. Have patience as this might take some time. Restart the Printer and connect it to the network again. 99% the problem will get resolved. If it doesn’t get resolved go to Step 2.
2. Check for the Network Connection
After the firmware, update even if the problem is not resolved then check the network connection. Check if there is a working internet connection and the printer is properly connected through the LAN Cable. If not then reset the network connection.
After the network connections are reset restart the Printer. The error should have been resolved by now. If however if the error still persist then I would suggest to go for a Hard Reset. Following are the steps to perform a Hard Reset.
