Issue Description:

Enhancements and Fixes provided with this Firmware revision

Notes

¾ This firmware release has a new feature to automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time.

After installation of the firmware, the MFP may have a control panel screen prompt for time
zone or date and time. These screens will remain on the MFP until action is taken by a user.
While the prompts are displayed, the MFP will still print, and receive and print faxes.

¾ There are isolated conditions where the time zone and Daylight Saving Time adjustment

appear to be configured, but are not. Correct configuration can be verified in the EWS by
going to the Start and End Date page in the EWS. A device that is not configured will have a
“0” in the DST Offset field, and incorrect dates for Start Date and Stop Date. Navigate to the
Start and End Date page of the EWS as follows:
[Settings]/[Date and Time]/[Advanced]/[Start Date / End Date]

¾ As a side effect of a high-priority fix, the EWS Print functionality does not work with this

release.
