Necessary tools

In order to be able to install firmware, the following tools are required:

• Personal computer with MS Windows
• Network cable to connect the XpertJet with the pc
• The latest MSA-tool (Mutoh Service Assistance) or MSM-tool (Mutoh Status Monitor)

Detailed instructions how to install the firmware, are described in the maintenance manual.

The latest current firmware can be downloaded below this article.

Current version 1.11

Version 1.10

** Make sure when updating to F/W Main Ver1.10 or higher to use MSA tool Ver.6.0.4 higher.
 

Bug fix:

• When performing Bi-D printing with "CR Print Shifting Width" set to "Media", the CR may not scan to the edge of the media and may wrap around at the edge of the printing data.

Changes:

• When the media detection setting is "OFF", media cutting is not possible, so when cutting is performed (long press of ENTER), "Media detection OFF" is displayed.
• The words on the panel in the soak cleaning menu were slightly different from other models, so they were changed to be the same as the other models.

Installed Ver 1.10 Serial number:
 XPJ-1341WR-P : KI5U000205~

Version 1.09

Bug fix:

There was a problem with the "head soak" cleaning cycle that was added in the previous version.

- When performing the soak cleaning process while a media error (e.g. no media) is displayed, the carriage moves to the left and then immediately returns to the cap-in position.

- When pressing Enter with the cleaning solution filled into the cap, the soak time is entered after cap-in, but the process of sucking up the cleaning solution occurs when the cap is in. This means that the cleaning solution inside the cap is drained and the print head is not soaked.

  - When entering the soak time, if the set time is not confirmed, the process does not move to the next step. At this time the cap is in a soaking state, but because the soaking time is not being counted, it is not recorded in the log.

Installed Ver 1.09 Serial number:
 XPJ-1341WR-P : KI5U000190~

Release date: 04 June 2024

Version 1.08

** Updating to F/W Main Ver1.08 or higher requires using MSA tool Ver.5.1.2.0 (or higher)

Changes

1. When "color check" is displayed the error LED will now be lit.

2. Added a "head soak" procedure in user mode (Menu 12: Soak clenaing)

This procedure can be used to soak the head in the cap when nozzles remain misfiring or missed.

Procedure:

Menu 12 head soak > head soak start > Enter

Carriage moves to the left side of the printer. (same operation as CR maintenance)

Open the front cover and maintenance cover R.

Fill the cap with the maintenance fluid with the dropper until the cap is just full.

Close the maintenance cover R and front cover.

Soak time (1-99) 10min > Enter

Automatic cleaning after soak time has elapsed.

3. When DS3 ink is being selected the CR maintenance log is active.

Bug fixes

1. Internal patterns were printed using the overwrite count and overwrite weight settings.
 Change the internal pattern to be printed without overwriting.

Installed Ver 1.08 Serial number:
XPJ-1341WR-P : KI5U000185~

Release date: 29 August 2023

Version 1.07

** Updating to F/W Main Ver1.07 or higher requires using MSA tool Ver.5.1.2.0 (or higher)

Changes

1. Acceleration of the paper feed during printing can be changed
This is a useful feature if slippery media is used.
New setting (Self-diagnosis mode>Parameter>Update>PF Acc.)
"Normal": Default
"Low": Low acceleration
 *Note the impact on throughput.

2. Added patterns for head slant adjustment.
These patterns may improve the accuracy of head tilt adjustment and improve the print quality.
New patterns (Self-diagnosis mode>Adjustment>Head Slant)
* Slant V-1
* Slant V-2
 A high magnification loupe(x200~x400 e.g. Digital loupe) is required for adjustments with these patterns.

Bug fixes

1. When performing "Adjustment print" using the remote panel function of the MUTOH Status Monitor(MSM), the value displayed in the Rough Pattern adjustment value input menu was the center value of "11" and the maximum value of "21".
 Fixed the change so that the center value is "6" and the maximum value is "11", just like the machine.

2. When the chip terminal short circuit occurs due to the misalignment of the card attachment position, the chip recovery may not function and an I/C error may occur.
 Fixed chip recovery to work even in such cases.

3. When printing with Caldera Rip, the CR speed is sometimes slow (about 240 cps), and sometimes abnormal printing occurs. This was caused by an out-of-specification parameter used in the PM command.
 Fixed to replace with the parameters within the specification and process it when the parameter out of the specification is received.

Installed Ver 1.07 Serial number:
XPJ-1341WR-P : KI5U000155~

Version 1.06

Change

1. "Automatic print settings" has been added to the remaining roll paper management menu in order to streamline operations up to barcode printing for remaining roll paper management.
If "Auto Print Settings" is set to ON, "Do you want to print the remaining amount?" is displayed after cutting the media.
 If "Yes" is selected, the barcode is printed after media cutting.

Bug fixes

1. Head rank input method selection menu (Auto/Manual) is not displayed in Self diagnosis>Head replace menu: This is now fixed.

2. When the *IP4 command is output in bi-directional printing in 600x900dpi mode, the image shifts and appears double. This is now fixed.

3.  The print area calculation was incorrect. It occurs under the following conditions:
- 600x1200, 450x900, 300x600 print modes.
- The length information (ESC)*r#t|T. is not added to the print data.
- Printing via Port9100

This is now fixed. 
 

Installed Ver 1.05 Serial number:
XPJ-1341WR-P : KI5U000135~

Version 1.05

Bug fixes

1. When the mini latch of the carriage lock is damaged and the carriage cannot be locked during the initial operation after power-on then the carriage continued to move left and right in the HOME position.
This is now fixed so that "E158 CR Lock Error" will be displayed after 2 attempts. 

2. When "Page gap" is set to "Narrow" and "Output" is switched from "Take-up" to another setting then a "front interlace" will be executed when printing. This is now fixed. 

3. When performing a head wash and the waste ink tank got full at a time when no cartridge was in the printer then the message "no cartridge" was incorrectly displayed. This is now fixed and will display "ink discharge" or "washing head".
