Engineering details Table 6-2 Troubleshooting a firmware update (continued) Cause Result A power cycle occurred during the PERFORMING UPGRADE process. No update has occurred. Resend the update. A power cycle occurred during the INITIALIZING process. The update has been completed. Print jobs that are sent to the device while an update is in process do not interrupt the update. All HP LaserJet devices leave the factory with the most recent firmware version installed. If a remote firmware update fails for the component, the .RFU file must be resent. The only component exception is the formatter. See Table 6-3 Firmware update messages on page 265 for information regarding a formatter update error.

Table 6-3 Firmware update messages Device message Explanation RECEIVING UPGRADE This message appears from the time the device recognizes the beginning of an .RFU update until the time the device has verified the validity and integrity of the .RFU update. NOTE: If the remote firmware update process is interrupted before the firmware is downloaded (while the RECEIVING UPGRADE message appears on the control-panel display), the firmware file must be sent again. No message appears on the device control panel to indicate that the update was interrupted. PERFORMING UPGRADE This message appears while the device is actually reprogramming the firmware.

INITIALIZING This message appears from the time the device has finished reprogramming the flash until the device reinitializes. RESEND UPGRADE This message appears (in English only) if the firmware update fails because the RFU process is interrupted. It can also occur if firmware for accessories (such as the duplex unit or an output device becomes is corrupted. Perform another update by any means that is supported by the device, regardless of the connection (network or USB). RFU LOAD ERROR SEND RFU UPGRADE ON USB PORT This message appears (in English only) if the firmware update of the formatter fails because the print-engine firmware is corrupted. If this message appears, the update must now be sent only by a computer that is attached to the USB port of the device. NOTE: To verify that the firmware update succeeded, print a new configuration page from the control panel and verify that the firmware date code on the configuration page has changed.

A power cycle occurred during the

The update has been completed.

Print jobs that are sent to the device while an update is in process do not interrupt the update.

All HP LaserJet devices leave the factory with the most recent firmware version installed. If a remote

firmware update fails for the component, the .RFU file must be resent. The only component exception

is the formatter. See

Table

for information regarding a

formatter update error.

Because a firmware update cannot be resent over a USB for when using a Macintosh operating system,

contact an HP Customer Care Center if a remote update fails in a Macintosh operating system.

Three messages appear during a normal update process; others appear only if the update process does

not succeed.

Table 6-3

Firmware update messages

Device message

Explanation

RECEIVING UPGRADE

This message appears from the time the device recognizes the beginning of

an .RFU update until the time the device has verified the validity and integrity of

the .RFU update.

NOTE:

If the remote firmware update process is interrupted before the firmware

is downloaded (while the

RECEIVING UPGRADE

message appears on the

control-panel display), the firmware file must be sent again. No message appears

on the device control panel to indicate that the update was interrupted.

PERFORMING UPGRADE

This message appears while the device is actually reprogramming the firmware.

NOTE:

If power is lost during the flash DIMM update (while the

PERFORMING

UPGRADE

message appears on the control-panel display), the update is

interrupted and the message

RESEND UPGRADE

appears on the control-panel

display.

INITIALIZING

This message appears from the time the device has finished reprogramming the

flash until the device reinitializes.

RESEND UPGRADE

This message appears (in English only) if the firmware update fails because the

RFU process is interrupted. It can also occur if firmware for accessories (such as

the duplex unit or an output device becomes is corrupted. Perform another update

by any means that is supported by the device, regardless of the connection

(network or USB).

RFU LOAD ERROR

SEND RFU UPGRADE

ON USB PORT

This message appears (in English only) if the firmware update of the formatter

fails because the print-engine firmware is corrupted.

If this message appears, the update must now be sent only by a computer that is

attached to the USB port of the device.

NOTE:

To verify that the firmware update succeeded, print a new configuration page from the control

panel and verify that the firmware date code on the configuration page has changed.
