Simple Steps to Upgrade Brother Printer Firmware 

Before stepping into the process of Brother printer firmware update make sure that driver is installed properly and your printer must be directly connected by USB cable. Keep in mind that proper internet connection is required for a firmware update. Follow the steps to do so:

• Ensure that your printer is turned on and connected to the internet. 
• Usually, the firmware update notification will be sent you by the company on your registered email address. You can visit the company’s website, enter your printer model number and download the available firmware update file in your system. 
• After that download the file in your local device. 
• Navigate to my computer and locate the printer that you want to upgrade. Now right click on the devices and go to Properties then to Ports and copy the IP address. Otherwise, you can simply print the network setup file and note down the IP address. 
• Then go to the browser in your computer and then enter the IP address of the printer. Note down that the computer and printer should be on the same network. 
• Now this IP address would take you to the configuration page of your printer. Generally, there will be a firmware update tab available on the first page. In the case of Brother, you have to click on the Print tab. And then you have to choose the file that you have downloaded and click on the ‘Apply’ button. 

This process will take around two to five minutes to send it to the printer and the printer will take 10 minutes to upgrade itself. During this period make sure that nobody uses the printer, wait for a while and the printer will automatically restart itself after the update completes. 

Update Firmware in Brother Printer through FTP 

This is another way to update Brother Printer Firmware. Follow the instructions to update it via FTP: 

• First of all, start the FTP or TFTP server. 
• Then copy the new firmware image file to the FTP or TFTP server. 
• After that Log into CLI. 
• Make sure that FortiDB is connected to FTP or TFTP server. For example, in case the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.168, enter the CLI command: implement ping 192.168.1.168. 
• Now type the following command to imitate the firmware image from the TFTP server to FortiDB:

accomplish restore image ftp <filename> <ftp_ip>execute restore image tftp <filename> <tftp_ip>

• Here <filename> is the name and location of the firmware image file and <ftp_ip> is the IP address of the TFTP server. 
• Implement restore image TFTP image.out 192.168.1.168. FortiDB responds with the message: This action will replace the current firmware version. 
• Now enter Y and FortiDB downloads the firmware image file and also update to the new firmware version. 
• Next, restart your printer and again reconnect to CLI.
• To ensure the new firmware image is successfully installed, enter: get system update. 

The firmware update is necessary because a lot of software on the system is being updated and you need to just update the inside of the printer so that it can understand the different processes.
