.UPG file for P7000 firmware?

General

In the Epson maintenance utility, it wants a .UPG file for doing a firmware update. Looks like the self-installing firmware updates from Epson have a .EFU file inside, and if it ever creates a UPG file from that I can’t find it. Renaming it to UPG doesn’t work (I mean, it downloads it to the printer, but doesn’t actually install it.)

The reason I ask is because in trying to find a replacement board for my P7000 main board with the blown fuse (see other topic) I ended up with a seemingly perfectly functioning board… with P6000 FW on it. D’oh! Needless to say, the self-installing FW from Epson won’t shove P7000 FW down to a P6000 board, which is probably a really really important safety feature…but I bet the maintenance utility would blow past such details, if only I had the right file to give it. It’s the same exact board, just different firmware in it.

Thanks,

This is 6080 china firmware,

may or may not work

Well my actual printer is a P7000, so seems like that would get me no closer than the P6000 FW that is already on the working board? (Unless I don’t understand Epson model numbers)

Thanks,

Sorry,

Yes that would be P6000 not P7000. I do not have P7000 firmware.
