Important Firmware Update for the HP Designjet L26500

HP Designjet L26500HP just released firmware version 9.0.0.2 for the HP Designjet L26500. The firmware update is now available for download at www.hp.com/go/L26500/support is strongly recommended.

The new firmware update optimizes the Carriage Rail Cleaning & Lubrication triggers to help keep the printer maintained and running optimally. Some newly-installed printers have seen 87:02 lubrication warnings shortly after installation, but with the firmware update these warnings will be avoided.

After the firmware has been upgraded:

  • If coming from version 5 or below, the printer will start to display requests for printer maintenance when needed, depending on the printer’s usage and/or your workflow
  • If coming from version 6 or 8, the printer will continue to display requests for printer maintenance when needed, depending on the printer’s usage and/or your workflow.

It is very important to carry out Cleaning & Lubrication when triggered. For more information on the procedure you can check the following video: www.hp.com/go/L2Series/CarriageRailMaintenance_video
