Firmware HN111E8

I've been traveling lately, and am about to leave again for a week. Because of recent absences I just noticed on the U.S. Epson site there’s a firmware update, from 4 September. As usual, they offer no clue what it does or why one would install it (except that it’s there, of course). Well, they DO say “This update improves printer functionality.”, which is about the same as saying nothing. On the other hand, who wouldn’t want their functionality improved? I mean, we obviously have unimproved functionality today.

Sometimes Epson sites outside the U.S. will have more detail, but it can be hard to find. Searching for the exact firmware version (HN111E8) gets me one hit, the Epson US site, leaving me still in the dark about this update.

I've still got packing to do and optics to clean before leaving in the morning, so further investigation will have to wait until I return home next week.
