Updating firmware Automated firmware updates can be done simultaneously over a network of printers. For security, the ability to perform this update can be restricted to authorized administrators by using access control. Printers inspect all downloaded firmware packages for required attributes before adopting and executing the packages. The firmware is packaged in a proprietary format and encrypted with a symmetric encryption algorithm through an embedded key that is known only to Lexmark. However, the strongest security measure comes from requiring all firmware packages to include multiple digital 2048-bit RSA signatures from Lexmark. If these signatures are not valid, or if the message logs indicate a change in firmware after the signatures were applied, then the firmware is discarded. 1 From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Device > Update Firmware. 2 Browse to the firmware file. 3 Click Upload.

Updating firmware
Automated firmware updates can be done simultaneously over a network of printers. For security, the ability
to perform this update can be restricted to authorized administrators by using access control.
Printers inspect all downloaded firmware packages for required attributes before adopting and executing the
packages. The firmware is packaged in a proprietary format and encrypted with a symmetric encryption
algorithm through an embedded key that is known only to Lexmark. However, the strongest security measure
comes from requiring all firmware packages to include multiple digital 2048-bit RSA signatures from Lexmark.
If these signatures are not valid, or if the message logs indicate a change in firmware after the signatures were
applied, then the firmware is discarded.
