Remote firmware update The HP Color LaserJet CP3525 Series product features remote firmware update (RFU) capability. The method for downloading remote firmware updates from the Web site is similar to that used to download the latest printing-system software and print drivers. The process for remotely upgrading firmware involves three steps: 1. Determine the current level of firmware that is installed on the product. 2. Go to the HP Web site and download the latest firmware to the computer. 3. Download the new firmware to the product. Determining the current level of firmware To determine the current level of firmware, view the configuration page. To print a configuration page, follow these instructions. Print a configuration page 1. Press the menu button to open the menus. 2. Press the up arrow or the down arrow to scroll to INFORMATION, and then press OK. 3. Press the up arrow or the down arrow to scroll to PRINT CONFIGURATION. 4. Press OK to print the configuration page. Downloading the new firmware from the HP Web site The remote firmware update (.RFU) file and an associated readme file are packaged together as a selfextracting .EXE file. For detailed instructions about how to download the .EXE file, go to the following URL: www.hp.com/go/cljcp3525_firmware The .EXE file consists of a readme file and the .RFU file. NOTE: For UNIX systems, the remote firmware update file is a .TAR file. For Macintosh systems, the remote firmware update file is an .SIT, .DMG, or .ZIP file. Downloading the new firmware to the product For support information about downloading new firmware from the Web, go to: www.hp.com/support/cljcp3525 The product can receive a firmware update when the product is in a READY state. The product waits for all of the I/O channels to become idle before performing the update. NOTE: If the firmware update involves a change in the format of nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), any menu settings that are changed from the default settings will return to default settings. The settings must be changed again if you want them to be different from the defaults. Examples of settings that are affected in this way are tray types, default symbol sets, and Web-access alerts. 276 Chapter 7 Engineering Details ENWW

Remote firmware update

The HP Color LaserJet CP3525 Series product features remote firmware update (RFU) capability. The

method for downloading remote firmware updates from the Web site is similar to that used to download

the latest printing-system software and print drivers.

The process for remotely upgrading firmware involves three steps:

Determine the current level of firmware that is installed on the product.

Go to the HP Web site and download the latest firmware to the computer.

Download the new firmware to the product.

Determining the current level of firmware

To determine the current level of firmware, view the configuration page. To print a configuration page,

follow these instructions.

Print a configuration page

Press the

button

to open the menus.

Press the

up arrow

or the

down arrow

to scroll to

INFORMATION

, and then press

Press the

up arrow

or the

down arrow

to scroll to

PRINT CONFIGURATION

Press

to print the configuration page.

Downloading the new firmware from the HP Web site

The remote firmware update (.RFU) file and an associated readme file are packaged together as a self-

extracting .EXE file. For detailed instructions about how to download the .EXE file, go to the following

URL:

www.hp.com/

go/cljcp3525_firmware

The .EXE file consists of a readme file and the .RFU file.

NOTE:

For UNIX systems, the remote firmware update file is a .TAR file.

For Macintosh systems, the remote firmware update file is an .SIT, .DMG, or .ZIP file.

Downloading the new firmware to the product

For support information about downloading new firmware from the Web, go to:

www.hp.com/

support/cljcp3525

The product can receive a firmware update when the product is in a

READY

state. The product waits

for all of the I/O channels to become idle before performing the update.

NOTE:

If the firmware update involves a change in the format of nonvolatile random-access memory

(NVRAM), any menu settings that are changed from the default settings will return to default settings.

The settings must be changed again if you want them to be different from the defaults. Examples of

settings that are affected in this way are tray types, default symbol sets, and Web-access alerts.
