Mimaki maintenance mode

[Retro Graphics]

So someone had shared with me the way to get into the maintenance mode of my Mimaki UCJV300 by holding down F1 and F3 buttons on the printer at boot. It appears Mimaki has updated the process. I suspect they [Mimaki] added a specific time count to hold it as I caught the tech still using the F1 and F3 keys simultaneously at boot.

Is anyone familiar with this?

I need to backdate it to keep printing until my new inks arrive, and I hate changing bottles between jobs just b/c it "expired" yesterday..

Note: I'm on firmware version 3.1

You just need to hold it until you hear a beep while it's booting. Usually right about the time it shows the firmware version.

nvm I figured it out, and now to share. you have to hold the F1 & F3 at the very start and just less than 30 seconds in you will hear a beep, when you hear the beep, let go of the buttons.
