Page 281 highlights

Engineering details To print the configuration page or menu map from the product control panel, perform the following: a. Touch Administration. b. Touch Information. c. Touch Configuration/Status Pages. d. Touch Configuration Page or Administration Menu Map. e. Touch Print. NOTE: If the product contains an HP Jetdirect EIO print server or an optional hard disk drive, additional configuration pages print that provide information about those options. The firmware datecode is listed on the configuration page in the section titled Device Information. The firmware datecode has this format: YYYYMMDD XX.XXX.X. The first string of numbers is the date, where YYYY represents the year, MM represents the month, and DD represents the day. For example, a firmware datecode that begins with 20071210 represents December 10, 2007. The second string of numbers represents the firmware version, such as 50.002.0. 2. From a command prompt or in an MS-DOS window, type: ● lpr -P -S -o l -or- ● lpr -S -Pbinps where can be either the TCP/IP address or the hostname of the product, and where is the filename of the .RFU file. NOTE: The parameter (-o l) consists of a lowercase "O", not a zero, and a lowercase "L", not the numeral 1. This parameter sets the transport protocol to binary mode. 3. Press Enter. The download process begins and the firmware is updated on the product. This can take several minutes. Let the process finish without further interaction with the product or the computer. The messages described in Control panel messages during the firmware update on page 264 appear on the product control panel. NOTE: The product automatically turns off and then on again to activate the update; this can happen more than once. At the end of the update process, the Ready message appears on the product control panel. Do not turn off the device or interfere with the update until you see this message. 4. Type exit at the command prompt to close the command window. 5. When the Ready message appears on the product control panel, print a configuration page and verify that the firmware version number has changed. Also, print the menu map to view the product settings. Remote firmware update for UNIX systems For UNIX systems, any command method that delivers the .TAR file to the device is acceptable, including the following: 1. Print a configuration page and a menu map. Make note of the TCP/IP address of the product on the Embedded Jetdirect Page. The Embedded Jetdirect Page is the second page of the ENWW Remote firmware updates 263

The firmware datecode is listed on the configuration page in the section titled
Device
Information
. The firmware datecode has this format: YYYYMMDD XX.XXX.X. The first string of
numbers is the date, where YYYY represents the year, MM represents the month, and DD
represents the day. For example, a firmware datecode that begins with 20071210 represents

2.
From a command prompt or in an MS-DOS window, type:
lpr -P <IPADDRESS> -S <IPADDRESS> -o l <FILENAME>
-or-
lpr -S <IPADDRESS> -Pbinps <FILENAME>
where <IPADDRESS> can be either the TCP/IP address or the hostname of the product, and where
<FILENAME> is the filename of the .RFU file.
NOTE:
The parameter (-o l) consists of a lowercase "O", not a zero, and a lowercase "L", not the
numeral 1. This parameter sets the transport protocol to binary mode.
3.
Press
Enter
. The download process begins and the firmware is updated on the product. This can
take several minutes. Let the process finish without further interaction with the product or the
computer. The messages described in
Control panel messages during the firmware update

appear on the product control panel.
NOTE:
The product automatically turns off and then on again to activate the update; this can
happen more than once. At the end of the update process, the
Ready
message appears on the
product control panel. Do not turn off the device or interfere with the update until you see this
message.
4.
