HP 2410 manual Bluetooth, Remote firmware update, Determining the current level of firmware

Software description

Bluetooth

Bluetooth®* wireless technology is a low-power, short-range radio technology that can be used to wirelessly connect computers, printers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones, and other devices.

*Bluetooth is a trademark owned by its proprietor and used by Hewlett-Packard Company under license.

Because Bluetooth wireless technology uses radio signals, devices do not have to be in the same room, office, or cubicle and do not require an unobstructed line of sight in order to communicate. This wireless technology increases portability and efficiency within business networks.

The HP LaserJet 2410, 2420, and 2430 printer can use a Bluetooth adapter (hp bt1300) to incorporate Bluetooth wireless technology. The adapter is available for either USB or parallel connections. The adapter has a 10-meter line-of-site operation range in the 2.5 GHz ISM band and can achieve data transfer rates up to 723 Kbps. The device supports the following Bluetooth profiles:

■Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP)

■Serial Port Profile (SPP)

■Object Push Profile (OPP)

■Basic Imaging Profile (BIP)

■Basic Printing Profile (BPP) with XHTML-Print

Remote firmware update

The HP LaserJet 2410, 2420, and 2430 printers 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:

1Determine the current level of firmware that is installed on the printer.

2Go to the HP Web site and download the latest firmware to your computer.

3Download the new firmware to the product.

Determining the current level of firmware

To determine the current level of firmware, view the configuration page. To print a configuration page, follow these instructions.

1Press the SELECT button (the one with the check mark) to open the menus.

2Press the up and down buttons to scroll to INFORMATION, and then press the SELECT button.

3Press the up and down buttons to scroll to PRINT CONFIGURATION.

4Press the SELECT button to print the configuration page.

5Look in the "Printer Information" section on the configuration page for the firmware date code. The firmware date code looks something like this: 20031002 07.000.0.
