Remote firmware updates
Introduction
The HP LaserJet M5025 MFP and HP LaserJet M5035 Series MFP devices feature remote firmware
update (RFU) capability. The method for downloading remote firmware updates from the Web site is
similar to that used to download the latest printing-system software and print drivers.
The process for remotely upgrading firmware involves three steps:
1. Print a configuration page to see what version of firmware is currently installed on the device. Also,
print a menu map to see what features are in this version of the firmware.
2. Go to the HP Web site and download the latest firmware to the computer.
3. Download the new firmware to the device. Print a new menu map to compare feature changes
between the previous firmware and upgraded firmware.
