Engineering details The following firmware update packages are available on the HP Web site: ● HP Easy Firmware Upgrade utility for Windows operating systems ● A self-extracting .EXE file (which contains both a firmware file and a Readme file) for Windows operating systems ● A .ZIP file for Macintosh operating systems ● A .TAR file for Unix operating systems Download the new firmware to the product NOTE: For more information about downloading new firmware from the HP Web site, go to the following URL: www.hp.com/go/ljm9040mfp_firmware or www.hp.com/go/ljm9050mfp_firmware The product can receive an .RFU update when in the Ready state. The device waits for all of the I/O channels to become idle before performing the update. NOTE: If the firmware update involves a change in the format of nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), any menu settings that are changed from the default settings will return to default settings. The settings must be changed again if you want them to be different from the defaults. Examples of settings that are affected in this way are tray types, default symbol sets, and Web-access alerts. The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for the product to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time depends on a number of things, including the speed of the host computer that is sending the update and the I/O method (network). The reinitialization time depends on the specific hardware configuration of the product, such as the number of EIO devices installed, the presence of an accessory output device, and the amount of memory that is installed. Finally, any print jobs that are ahead of the .RFU job in the queue are printed before the update is processed. The following firmware update methods are listed in order of recommended installation: Macintosh ● Remote firmware update for Macintosh systems Windows - single product firmware update ● HP Easy Firmware Upgrade utility ● Remote firmware update by using FTP through a browser ● Remote firmware update by using FTP on a network connection ● Remote firmware update through a Windows network ● Remote firmware update by using HP Web Jetadmin ● Remote firmware update by using the LPR command Windows - multiple product firmware update ● Remote firmware update by using HP Web Jetadmin ENWW Remote firmware updates 245
