Necessary tools

In order to be able to install firmware, the following tools are required:

Personal computer with MS Windows
Network cable to connect the Valuejet wit the pc

Release date: 23 february 2021

When the network transfer was interrupted due to cable issues or bad contacts, the printer needed to be restarted in order to resolve the connectivity issue. When disconnections now occur, the printer will automatically retry to recover the connection within a time-span of 5 minutes before a timeout occurs.
Ink consumption was not counted during "Sub Tank Refill". This has been fixed.

Nozzle check pattern: add printer information: print time, serial number, firmware version

Parameter update after initial ink-charge

Previously the printer needed a reboot after ink-charge, in order to properly store the charge-flag in the parameters. When an error occurred, the charge-flag was reset and inks needed to be recharged again. From this version, parameters are now properly stored after initial charge without the necessity to reboot.

When “ink end” occurs, the carriage caps immediately (there was a 20 seconds waiting time)

Maintenance menu: added average jetting number of print head + total average jetting number
