Remote firmware update through a Windows network
If the product is shared on a Windows network, update the firmware by completing these instructions:
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 copy /b <FILENAME> \
\<COMPUTERNAME>\<SHARENAME>, where <FILENAME> is the name of the .RFU file, including
the path, <COMPUTERNAME> is the name of the computer from which the product is being
shared, and <SHARENAME> is the product share name. For example, type the following:
C:\>copy /b c:\xxxxfw.rfu \\COMPUTERNAME\SHARENAME
NOTE: If the file name or path includes a space, you must enclose the file name or path in
quotation marks. For example, type C:\>copy /b "c:\My Documents\xxxxfw.rfu" \
\COMPUTERNAME\SHARENAME
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

4. 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.
