Transfer the new firmware to the device
Use one of the following methods to update the firmware.
Use FTP to upgrade the firmware on a network connection
NOTE The device can receive an .RFU file update as long as it is in a Ready state.
The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for the
device 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. If the remote firmware update process is interrupted before
the firmware is downloaded (while Receiving Upgrade appears on the control-panel display), the
firmware file must be sent again. If power is lost during the flash DIMM update (while the Performing
Upgrade message appears on the control-panel display), the update is interrupted and the message
Resend Upgrade appears (in English only) on the control-panel display. In this case, you must send
the upgrade by using the parallel port. Finally, any jobs that are ahead of the RFU job in the queue are
completed before the update is processed.
Follow these instructions to perform the upgrade by using FTP.
1. Take note of the IP address on the HP Jetdirect page. The HP Jetdirect page is the second page
that prints when you print the configuration page.
NOTE Before upgrading the firmware, make sure that the device is not in Sleep mode.
Also make sure that any error messages are cleared from the control-panel display.
2. Open an MS-DOS command prompt on your computer.
3. Type: ftp <TCP/IP ADDRESS>. For example, if the TCP/IP address is 192.168.0.90, type ftp
192.168.0.90.
4. Press Enter on the keyboard.
5. When prompted for the user name, press Enter.
6. When prompted for the password, press Enter.
7. Type bin at the command prompt.
8. Press Enter. The message 200 Types set to I, Using binary mode to transfer files appears in
the command window.
9. Type put <filename> where <filename> is the name of the .RFU file that was downloaded from
the Web, including the path. For example, type put C:\LJ\M3035FW.RFU, and then press Enter.
NOTE If the file name or path includes a space, you must enclose the file name or path in
quotation marks. For example, type put “C:\MY DOCUMENTS\LJ\M3035FW.RFU”
The following series of messages appears in the command window:
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection
226 Ready
