Remote firmware update by using FTP through a browser
Complete the following steps to update the device firmware by using file transfer protocol (FTP) through
a browser on MS Windows or Macintosh operating systems.
1. Make note of the TCP/IP address of the device on the HP 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 .
2. Open a browser window.
3. In the address line of the browser, type ftp://<IPADDRESS>, where <IPADDRESS> is the TCP/
IP address of your device. For example, if the TCP/IP address is 192.168.0.90, type FTP://
192.168.0.90
4. Press Enter.
5. Locate the downloaded .RFU file for the device.
6. Drag and drop the .RFU file onto the PORT icon or onto any open space in the browser window.
If the PORT1 icon does not appear as a folder name, use a Web browser to enable folder viewing
for FTP sites. In Microsoft Internet Explorer, use the following procedure to enable the folder view.
a. Select Tools, then select Internet Options, and then select the Advanced tab.
b. Select the Enable folder view for FTP sites.
c. Click OK to save the setting.
7. The download process begins and the firmware is updated on the device. This can take several
minutes. Let the process finish without further interaction with the device or the computer. The
messages described in the section
Printer messages during the firmware update appear on the
control panel.
NOTE The device 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 device or interfere with the update until you
see this message.
8. Print a configuration page and verify that the firmware version number matches the revision of the
current update.
NOTE Print a menu map to see user settings are configured in the current firmware. This menu
map can be compared with a menu map printed before the firmware update to determine what
user settings have been added or changed in the new firmware.
To print a menu map from the device control panel, see
Print a menu map.
