I have the same issue. I tried to upload firmware in normal mode and it only accepts 14% and the printer never turns off.Good day. In order to update firmware on XP-230/231 in normal mode the printer must be ready to print, you either need to install original cartridges temporarily or compatible CIS that is still recognized.
Resolution
It worked! Thank you!Contact Admin
