Remote firmware updates
The configuration page lists the firmware version of the product. On flash-based products, you can
update the firmware code by downloading the latest flash executable file for the product and running
the program according to the Readme instructions that come with it. If the firmware should become
corrupted or fail, usually because of an interruption when attempting to update the firmware, the product
may no longer function. If updated firmware becomes available, you can download the firmware update
flash executable file for the product from one of the following Web sites:
www.hp.com/
go/cljcm6030mfp_firmware
or
www.hp.com/
go/cljcm6040mfp_firmware
The 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 printer drivers.
The process for remotely upgrading firmware involves the following steps:
1.
Print a configuration page to see what version of firmware is currently installed on the product. Also,
print a menu map to see what user settings have been configured.
2.
Go to the HP Web site and download the latest firmware to the computer.
To find the most recent firmware upgrade for the product, go to one of the following URLs:
www.hp.com/
go/cljcm6030mfp_firmware
or
www.hp.com/
go/cljcm6040mfp_firmware
3.
Download the new firmware to the product.
For support information about downloading new firmware from the Web, go to the following URL
mentioned in the previous step.
4.
Print a new menu map to compare user settings between the previous firmware and the upgraded
firmware.

Version Checking [INTERNAL]
Primary/Location
Version Checking
JetDirect inside (JDI)
Does version checking.
Upgrades if the firmware version is newer; this means it will not
rewrite or upgrade if the firmware is the same or older.
This becomes an issue if the current firmware is corrupt.
Because the firmware version may be the same even though
it may be corrupt, the firmware will not rewrite because it is the
same version.
To update corrupt firmware with the same .RFU version, use
the nodebug bundle of firmware, then update using the correct
firmware bundle.
Fax Modem
Does version checking.
The firmware updates if the .RFU is different from what is
currently on the component. The firmware can be updated if
the .RFU is older or newer than the current firmware version.
Will not upgrade if firmware version is the same. The same
version does not rewrite because of speed.
