Note Environmental features ● Sleep setting saves energy (meets ENERGY STAR® guidelines, Version 1.0 HP LaserJet 9050mfp only) See Protecting the environment for more information. Firmware updates Firmware updates provide the ability to upgrade the MFP firmware. To download the latest firmware, go to www.hp.com/go/lj9040mfp_firmware or www.hp.com/go/lj9050mfp_firmware and follow the instructions on the screen. To easily send firmware updates to multiple products, use the HP Web Jetadmin software (go to www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin). Internal hard disk The internal hard disk can be used to store selected print jobs. It can support RIP ONCE technology, and can permanently store downloaded fonts and forms in the MFP. Unlike standard product memory, many items on the hard disk remain in the MFP even when the MFP is turned off. Fonts that are downloaded to the hard disk are available to all users of the MFP. Optional HP EIO hard disk The EIO hard disk accessory can be added to the MFP to provide additional capacity for storing fonts and forms. The MFP does not use the EIO hard disk accessory for tasks such as RIP ONCE and stored jobs. The MFP uses the internal hard disk for these tasks. Both disks can be write-protected through software for additional security. Use the device storage manager applet in HP Web Jetadmin to delete files and manage fonts on a mass-storage device. See Embedded Web Server. For more information, see the MFP software Help. Hewlett-Packard Company occasionally introduces new software tools for use with your MFP and accessories. These tools are available from the Internet. For more information, go to www.hp.com/go/lj9040mfp or www.hp.com/go/lj9050mfp_firmware.
