Remote firmware update by using the LPR command Complete the following steps to update the firmware by using the LPR command: 1. Make note of the TCP/IP address on the Embedded Jetdirect page. The HP Embedded Jetdirect page is the second page of the configuration page printout. To print a configuration page, see Print the configuration page on page 261. 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 Messages during the firmware update on page 269 appear on the 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 control panel. Do not turn off the product 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 product is in a Ready state, print a configuration page and verify that the firmware version has changed. Also, print the Menu map and check for settings changes. Remote firmware update by using HP Web Jetadmin This procedure requires that you install HP Web Jetadmin Version 7.0 or later on the computer. 1. Start HP Web Jetadmin. 2. Open the Device Management folder in the drop-down list in the Navigation panel. Navigate to the Device Lists folder. 3. Expand the Device Lists folder and select All Devices. Locate the product in the list, and then click to select it. NOTE: If you need to upgrade the firmware for multiple products, select all of them by pressing the Ctrl key as you click the name of each product. 4. Locate the drop-down box for Device Tools in the upper-right corner of the window. Select Update Printer Firmware from the action list. 5. If the name of the .RFU file is not listed in the All Available Images box, click Browse in the Upload New Firmware Image dialog box and navigate to the .RFU file that you downloaded from the Web at the start of this procedure. If the filename is listed, select it. 6. Click Upload to move the .RFU file from the hard drive to the HP Web Jetadmin server. After the upload is complete, the browser window refreshes. 7.
