Automatic rmware updates
Automatic rmware updates are a convenience that is possible with Web-connected printers. Your printer can
automatically download the latest rmware release, store it in the printer, and install it for you.
Important notes
● Your printer must be connected to the Internet; see Set up printer services on page 17.
● To congure automatic rmware updates, you can use the front panel or the Embedded Web Server; see
Congure rmware updates on page 18.
● If an administrator password has been set, it will be required to change these settings.
● A rmware update package can be large; you may want to consider whether there are any implications for
your network or Internet connection.
● A rmware update is downloaded in the background: the printer can be printing at the same time. However,
it cannot be installed in the background: printing must stop, and installation is always a manual process.
You can install rmware at any time after the download has completed.
Manual rmware updates
Manual rmware updates can be performed in the following ways:
● Using the Embedded Web Server, click About printer > Firmware update. Click Check now to check whether
new rmware is available. If new rmware is available, some information about the new rmware is
displayed, and you are given the opportunity to download and install it.
● Using the HP DesignJet Utility under Windows, select your printer, the Support tab and then Firmware
Update.
● Using the HP DesignJet Utility under Mac OS X, select Firmware Update in the Support group.
● Using HP Web Jetadmin, with which you can make manual rmware updates or request automatic updates.
● Using a USB ash drive. Download the rmware le from http://www.hp.com/go/T1700/rmware into the
USB ash drive and insert it into the Hi-Speed USB host port beside the front panel. A rmware update

long use. When one of them is needed, a message is displayed on the front panel and by the HP DesignJet Utility.
When you see the message, you should contact HP Support (see Contact HP Support on page 159) and request
the maintenance kit. The kits are installed by service engineers only.
