Printer error/crash during filament load and print start (Thinks its in a farm?)
I've just gone to change the filament on my printer, and it was overall successful. After saying yes to the successful load i went to start a print. At this time the printer started to extrude more filament. Once i had selected the gcode which i wished to use the printer made a loud beep, and then promptly restarted.
After this restart i noticed that "F0" appeared on the info screen, farm and nozzle appeared in the preheat section (farm, nozzle, cooldown and then abs). i also noticed there was an area where a number could be set for the farm, and at this point i started to assume that this was intended for the printer farm to produce the printer parts.
Once i had figured this out i decided that it could be a good starting point to reflash the firmware. I loaded up Slic3rPE and downloaded the latest firmware and managed to flash it successfully. Afterwards the things i had previously witnessed were still there, and at this point im completely stumped. The printing aspect of the printer seems to be completely unhindered, but i would much prefer to get the firmware back to normal. Having PLA in the preheat section is the main thing i want back.
If required i can provide some pictures, or anymore detail that might help.

Forgot to mention, i am running fw3.4.0

I've also just had a small print finish, and once it had the printer unloaded the filament and came up with a "Print ok ?" dialog with a yes and no option, and the ability to choose the colour that the print was, with the options Orange and Black.

Never mind! just had a poke through the settings, and i found a setting called "Disable farm mode", but i'm still perplexed as to why this happened in the first place.
